With weights in your hands, keep your arms relaxed and hanging down throughout the movement. Lift your shoulders up toward your ears as high as you can, then slowly lower them. Focus on moving only your shoulders; don't jut out your chin. Work up to 40 shrugs. Advanced: Do it while balancing on your toes.
