1 / 9
Step-by-step instructions
- 1
Start by holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms hanging beside your body.
- 2
Stand tall with your feet planted — either together or shoulder-width apart — so that your body is stationary and not rocking back and forth during the exercise.
- 3
Keep your head facing forward and your neck in alignment with your spine.
- 4
Twist the dumbbells so that your palms are facing behind you.
- 5
Push your palms back until you feel your triceps tightening.
- 6
Keeping that pressure on your triceps, execute a pulsating movement — baby pulse, pulse, pulse — focusing on working your triceps.
- 7
Repeat for 20–30 pulses or until your triceps are fatigued.
