How to do it
Execution:
  1. 1
    Stand holding dumbbells at your sides, arms straight, palms facing in.
  2. 2
    Keep your neck neutral and shoulders relaxed at the start.
  3. 3
    Shrug your shoulders straight up toward your ears and pause at the top.
  4. 4
    Lower slowly under control.
Tip: don't roll the shoulders — the motion is only up and down.
