A standing shoulder exercise with one dumbbell held by its opposite ends in front of the body. The weight turns from one side to the other like a steering wheel while the arms maintain their forward position.
Stand with your feet planted and hold one dumbbell securely by its opposite ends, one end in each hand.
Position the dumbbell in front of your chest at about shoulder height with slightly bent elbows.
Rotate the dumbbell so one end rises and the other lowers, without turning the torso.
Reverse the rotation through the middle toward the other side, keeping the hands secure and the elbows at a similar angle.
Use a light enough dumbbell to keep its distance from the body steady.
Limit the turning range to what your shoulders and wrists can control.
For weight-and-repetition tracking, count a turn to the other side and back to the same orientation as one cycle.
Using two dumbbells or gripping the handle as if performing a front raise.
Twisting the torso, shrugging or swinging the arms to turn the weight.
Loosening the grip on either end or forcing the wrists into an uncomfortable position.
