Standing V Raise
For Arms
Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides, palms in (a). With arms straight but not locked, raise the weights diagonally in front of you, so that your arms form a V shape, until your arms are parallel to the floor (b). Hold for one second, then return to the starting position. Do 12 to 15 reps.
