Steps

  1. 1 Sit upright on a bench or chair, holding a light dumbbell in one hand with a neutral grip.
  2. 2 Place your elbow against your side, bending your arm to a 90-degree angle so your forearm is parallel to the floor and the dumbbell points straight ahead.
  3. 3 Keeping your elbow fixed against your side, slowly rotate your forearm inwards, bringing the dumbbell across your body towards your navel.
  4. 4 Continue rotating until you feel a gentle stretch in your shoulder, without letting your elbow lift away from your side.
  5. 5 Slowly reverse the movement, rotating your forearm outwards to return the dumbbell to the starting position.
