Paddle
Starting Posture
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hold a paddle in each hand with palms facing down.
How to Exercise
Engage your core muscles, keep your back straight, and slowly raise the paddles towards your shoulders by bending your elbows. Slowly lower the paddles back down to the starting position. Repeat for desired number of reps.
Breath Control
Inhale as you raise the paddles and exhale as you lower them.
Common errors
Common errors include using too much weight, swinging the paddles, or arching the back. Make sure to keep proper form to avoid injury.
Weights
Start with light weights (1-3 lbs) and gradually increase as needed.
Grips
Hold the paddles with a neutral grip, keeping your wrists straight and avoiding excessive bending.
Variations
For a more challenging workout, try using resistance bands instead of paddles, or perform the exercise while standing on one leg to work on balance.

Comments and tips
Make sure to maintain good posture throughout the exercise and focus on using your biceps to lift the paddles. Start with a light weight and gradually increase as you build strength.
Cautions
Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the paddles, as this can cause injury. Stop immediately if you feel any pain in your shoulders or wrists.
