Hold the dumbbell in your left hand and keep your left elbow on your left side. Lift both your left leg and your left arm up to the ceiling about 90 degrees, keeping your hips stacked without rocking backwards and your elbow pressed into your side. Hold at the top for 2 seconds before returning to start. Repeat for 1 minute, then switch sides.

Be sure that your elbow stays pressed into your side and that the dumbbell travels from your bellybutton to the ceiling and down again, and remember to always to keep your hips level. Do not rock back and forth."
