How to do it

01Sit on an Incline Bench while holding a dumbbell on each hand on top of your thighs.
02Lift your legs up to kick the weights to your shoulders and lean back. Position the dumbbells above your shoulders with your arms extended. The arms should be perpendicular to the floor with your palms facing forward and knuckles pointing towards the ceiling. This will be your starting position.

04Bring back the dumbbells to the starting position as you breathe in.
05Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
