Fitness: Dumbbell pullovers

Great exercise to work the shoulder girdle, triceps and shoulder stabilisers. Lie on your back with feet flat on the floor or on the bench. Grasp one dumbbell from behind or from side with both hands under inner plate of dumbbell, it should be straight over chest. Brace the spine by drawing your navel towards the spine and squeezing the glutes. Keeping elbows slightly bent throughout movement, lower dumbbell over and beyond head until upper arms are in-line with torso. Then pull dumbbell up and over chest. Repeat as directed. It is important NOT to let your back arch at any time during the movement. Actual range of motion is dependent upon individual shoulder flexibility. Keep elbows fixed at small bend throughout exercise.
