Movement instructions

1
To begin, stand straight while holding a weight plate by the ridge at arm's length in each hand using a neutral grip (palms facing in). You feet should be shoulder width apart from each other. This will be your starting position.
2
Lower the plates until the fingers are nearly extended but can still hold weights. Inhale as you lower the plates.
3
Now raise the plates back to the starting position as you exhale by closing your hands.
4
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions prescribed in your program.

Technique guidance

Breathe continuously in a slow, regular rhythm while holding the position. Shorten or stop the hold if you cannot breathe normally.

Use a position and hold duration that still allow normal breathing and stable alignment.
End the hold if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or loss of control.
Inspect the implement and clear its movement path before starting.
