Starting Position:

• Begin in a kneeling position on a mat or comfortable surface.

• Kneel on your right knee while your left foot is flat on the floor in front of you, ensuring your left knee is at a 90-degree angle.

• Hold the dumbbell in your right hand, resting it near your shoulder. Your elbow should be bent and positioned close to your body.

Core Engagement:

• Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body.

• Keep your back straight and ensure your head is in a neutral position, looking forward.

Pressing Movement:

• Exhale as you press the dumbbell upwards with your right arm.

• Extend your arm fully above your head, making sure your wrist stays straight and in line with your shoulder and elbow.

Return to Starting Position:

• Inhale as you slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position near your shoulder.

• Maintain control of the weight throughout the movement.

Repetition:

• Perform 8-12 repetitions on the right side.

• After completing the set, switch legs and repeat the exercise on the left side, holding the dumbbell in your left hand.

Form Tips:

• Ensure that your front knee stays aligned with your ankle during the pressing movement.

• Avoid leaning back or arching your back excessively; keep your torso upright.

• Focus on controlled movements and proper breathing throughout.

Cool Down:

• After completing your sets, take a moment to stretch your arms and shoulders to help with recovery.
