Even though at the beginning and first sight this seems like a very simple exercise due to its execution and easiness, it is incredibly effective for working out and toning the upper chest muscles.

In vertical position, standing in front of a mirror, stretch the back, keeping it completely and totally straight, while at the same time keeping your eyes and neck looking straight. Once you are in this correct position, stretch your arms with a hand in each hand.

Without moving the arms, hands or body, move your shoulders upwards towards the ceiling. You should notice a tension in your shoulders as well as in your breasts, stretching them slightly upwards.

In order to make use of this exercise, it is necessary to do 4 sets of 40 repetitions, each one. When we advance the time and increase the muscles in the chest and the arms, we can increase the amount of repetitions and weight.

(*) Starting from the seventh week, your body will have accustomed to the exercise and weight of the yoke (dumbbell). No one better than yourself knows the needs of your own body, which is why we advise you that you be the one who increments the number of repetitions and weight for the exercises.
