Get a great back and arms with this exercise!!  This targets two muscles groups, the muscles of the upper and middle back and the biceps, the muscles in the front of the upper arm.  After you have been doing this exercise regularly and find that the weights have become easier to lift, slightly increase the weight or the number of repetitions.

• Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward.
• Stand with feet apart, knees bent.
• Bend forward at hips and extend arms toward floor (keeping back at a straight angle).  This is the starting position.
• Pull up dumbbells slowly (squeezing shoulder blades together), keeping arms close to your sides until elbows have passed your back.
• Pause, then return to starting position.
• Repeat 12-15 repetitions.

Tip on Form:  Don’t arch or round the upper back when performing this exercise. Keep abdominals in tight to help support the spine and proper alignment.
