Sit forward in chair. Let arms hang down at sides, palms facing in, a dumbbell in each hand. Contract abdominal muscles for stability. Bend slightly forward at the waist, back straight. With elbows bent and wrists straight, pull both dumbbells straightup as high as you can. Pause. Lower to starting position.

For each of the exercises, do two sets. Feet should always be shoulder-width apart and flat on the floor to start. Rest minute or so between the sets.

Note: Don't think that amount of sweat be your barometer to intensity tracking. Sweating is how body cools itself; it is not connected to effort or amount of fat loss.

Warning: Consult your health care provider before beginning any strength training program, particularly if you have some health issues or if you have experienced back, knee, elbow or shoulder pain.
