Holding weights, start in the up position of Rotator-Cuff Lift. Push your arms straight up, then lower to shoulder height again. Exhale on the way up, and inhale on the way down. Keep your knuckles up (palms forward) throughout. Tighten your stomach to prevent arching your back. Work up to 20 repeats.
Advanced: After 20 repeats, hold the up position for 30 seconds.
