"Dumbbell thrusters include a squat and a shoulder press all in one exercise, so you're able to target your full body in one movement," says Brynley Joyner, expert trainer at FORM.
Muscles worked: dumbbell thrusters target most of the main muscle groups in your body, including the quads, hamstrings, shoulders, core, glutes and back.
- Start with your feet hip-distance apart and a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height.
- Squat down, bending your knees until your thighs are about parallel to the floor.
- Drive through your feet to stand, as you press your arms above your head.
- Return to your starting position to reset. Repeat for 10 reps.
