Overhead Press

  • Stand with your feet hip-distance apart and pick up your weights, holding the dumbbells so your palms are face down. Lift up your weights until they are at your shoulders, palms facing forward, with elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
  • Raise your arms until elbows are extended, moving weights until they almost touch above your head (see picture above).
  • Slowly return back to starting position (with elbows at a 90-degree angle).
  • Repeat for five reps, making sure you keep your form correct.
  • Remember to breathe and keep your spine neutral and core engaged while you perform this exercise. Also, don't hunch your shoulders while you raise and lower your weights.
