Dumbbell Shrugs
Dumbbell Shrugs are a strength training exercise primarily targeting the upper trapezius muscles, located in the upper back and neck. To perform this exercise, stand upright while holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Keep your arms straight and lift your shoulders towards your ears, squeezing the trapezius muscles at the top of the movement.
Lower your shoulders back to the starting position to complete one repetition. This exercise can help improve posture and enhance shoulder stability. It's important to maintain proper form and avoid using momentum to ensure effectiveness and reduce the risk of injury.
