Start by standing upright with your feet hip-width apart and holding a kettlebell in one hand at your side with a neutral grip. Keeping your arm straight, lift your shoulder towards your ear in a shrugging motion, squeezing your upper trapezius at the top before slowly lowering back down. Perform the desired number of reps, then switch to the opposite arm.
