Step 2: Do a stomach crunch. Not a full sit-up, which are bad for your back, but a crunch. As you do so, bring the dumbbell up and over, and touch your knees with it.
Step 3: Controlling the weight with your arms still so that they don't fall back too fast, lie back flat into the first position.
Step 4: Repeat until you find yourself wishing for the sweet embrace of death.

That's hard work! I just did some! Now I am a bit sore.
Here's my current nemesis:
Sit up straight on a bench or chair, looking ahead. Ideally you'll want a mirror in front of you. Have a light dumbell in each hand (I'm using 3kgs).
Raise the dumbells in front of you with your arms straight and ahead. Lift them from hanging by your sides until the dumbells are at ear level. Lower them slowly, keeping them under control.
Repeat x10
Now, go out to the sides, arms straight and in line with your body. Ear hight again.
Repeat x 10
Last one. Arms slightly bent, lift them out to the side, and up to meet above your head, hands facing each other rather than side-by-side.
Repeat x10
Now you've done all that, wait 30 seconds and do it all again. If you have to, take breaks of up to 10 seconds so you can finish the set.
Ooooh nice. I'll try those tomorrow!
