First Movie:
Weight trainer style dumbbell raise.
Note the arching of the back and the rotation of the trunk as the
dumbbell is lifted.

Second movie: Pilates style dumbbell raise.
A smaller weight is used
and there is strict attention to awareness and stability at the core.
Notes:
It may appear that I am singling out www.exrx.net for
criticism. Not so! What you see
in the upper movie I see every time I walk past the weight training
room on my way to my pilates workout. And this is happening in a
highly reputable fitness center. This author wishes to thank www.exrx.net for their excellent
library of weight training information.
