How to do the Spell Caster
- 1
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with a pronated grip. Your feet should be wide with your hips and knees extended. This will be your starting position.
- 2
Begin the movement by pulling both of the dumbbells to one side next to your hip, rotating your torso.
- 3
Keeping your arms straight and the dumbbells parallel to the ground, rotate your torso to swing the weights to your opposite side.
- 4
Continue alternating, rotating from one side to the other until the set is complete.
Log it, see it on your body.
