Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand by your sides, palms facing inward (neutral grip). Maintain a neutral spine and let the weights hang freely.

1. Initiate the movement by elevating your shoulders straight up toward your ears as high as possible.
2. Squeeze the upper trapezius strongly, holding the contraction briefly at the top.
3. Slowly lower the kettlebells back down to the starting position with control.
4. Allow the shoulders to achieve a gentle stretch at the bottom before beginning the next repetition.
