1. In the initial stages, select relatively lightweight plates. Grab the plates between your thumb and fingers with your thumb resting on one side of the plate, and the other four fingers on the other side of the weight plate. Your palms will be facing inward toward the side of your thighs.
2. Start with a shoulder-width stance and make sure that your body is aligned, with your head, shoulders, hips, and knees in line. Bring your shoulder blades back and down. Keep your gaze focused in front of you, your abdominals tight, and look ahead of you.
3. Hold the position for the required length of time.
