Steps
  • 1. Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly turned outward. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, keeping them at shoulder height with your palms facing forward and elbows bent.

  • 2. Press Dumbbells Overhead: Engage your core muscles and press the dumbbells overhead until your arms are fully extended. Keep your wrists aligned with your forearms.

  • 3. Stabilize the Core: Tighten your core muscles to maintain stability in your torso. A strong core will help you keep the dumbbells steady overhead.

  • 4. Squatting Down: Initiate the squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Lower your body down as if you're sitting back into an imaginary chair. Keep your chest up and your back straight.
