  • Start by sitting in a chair, with your back straight, feet stable on the floor.
  • Hold two dumbbells with an overhand grip (palms facing down) and place them on your thighs.
  • While keeping your back straight, lift the dumbbells straight up in front of your chest, to just below chin level.

  • Keep them as close to your body as possible. Pause, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the front of your thigh area, and repeat for desired reps.
  • Aim for 3 sets x 10–12 reps.

Please speak to your provider before starting any new exercise regimen.
