Upright rows work your trapezius, triceps, and shoulders. Engageing your belly will protect your lower back and prevent your spine from rounding.
- Stand with your feet hip-distance apart, shoulders over hips, with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward.
- Roll your shoulders back and down so that your shoulder blades stay flush during the movement.
- Keeping the dumbbells close to your body, raise them to your shoulders, bending your elbows out to the sides.
- Slowly lower them to the starting position. This counts as one rep.
- Complete two to three sets of 10 to 12 reps.
