Working with weights: The Dumbbell Shrug

The Dumbbell Shrug provides upper back and neck strength. You will need a pair of hand weights (heavy staplers might work!). Ten to 15 repetitions are recommended.

Stand up straight and allow your shoulders to relax.
Hold a pair of dumbbells in your hands.
Keep your feet flat on the floor.
Draw your shoulders back and up as high as you can. Be sure that your shoulders don't roll forward when you lift.
Relax.
