Be sure you have a firm grasp on each weight to avoid potential accidents.
Once you have a weight in each hand, begin moving your arms in the designated motion.

Holding a weight in each hand, bend at the elbows and pump your arms as you continue to walk.

Answer 1

"Holding a weight in each hand, bend at the elbows and pump your arms as you continue to walk."

Reason: It gives the immediate, specific action to perform after picking up the weights and before walking briskly, making the sequence clear.
