4. Press both dumbbells up to full arm extension, locking out your elbows and squeezing your chest at the top.
5. While holding one dumbbell aloft, slowly lower the other dumbbell toward your chest.
6. Once the dumbbell nearly touches your chest, press it back up to the starting position.
7. Lower the opposite dumbbell in the same manner.
8. Continue to alternate between each arm for the desired number of reps.
9. Keep your movements controlled, focusing on proper form to engage the targeted muscle groups.
10. When finished, safely return the dumbbells to the starting position on your thighs before standing up.
Keep your movements controlled, and adjust the weight of the dumbbells so you can perform the exercise with proper form. Always consult with a fitness professional if you are new to this exercise or if you have any underlying health conditions.
