Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides.
Keep your back straight and shoulders pulled back slightly.

Raise the weights: With elbows slightly bent, raise the weights to the side at about a 45-degree angle from your body.
Lift the dumbbells until your arms are parallel to the floor, or at shoulder level, then pause briefly.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position at your sides.
Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout to prevent injury and to ensure the targeted muscles are effectively engaged.
