Dumbbell Shrug

Expert Advice

Keep your neck neutral and avoid rolling your shoulders, as this can put unnecessary strain on the shoulder joint.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand or sit with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
  2. Raise your shoulders towards your ears as high as possible, exhaling as you lift.
  3. Hold the contraction at the top for a moment, then slowly lower your shoulders back to the starting position while inhaling.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
