Why: This move builds upper body and core strength to support your normal daily movements by targeting the deltoids of the shoulders, which are often weak in women. If this muscle group isn’t strong, you’ll transfer stress and strain onto your lower back.
How: Stand with your feet directly under your hips. Elongate your spine and begin with your hands holding dumbbells just in front of your shoulders, elbows under your hands. Keeping your shoulders anchored downward toward your hips, press the dumbbells straight up. Arc back slightly so that you end with the dumbbells directly over the mid-line of your head. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, keeping your elbows under your hands.[/su_box]
