Instructions
1. Start by selecting an appropriate weight for the dumbbells and lie down on the floor on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
2. With a dumbbell in each hand, position your arms so that you're holding the dumbbells with palms facing towards you, directly above your chest. This is the starting position.
3. Engage your core and press the weights upward by extending your arms, keeping your wrists in line with your forearms. Remember to keep the palms of your hands facing towards you throughout the movement.
4. Once your arms are fully extended, pause for a moment at the top of the press.
5. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position above your chest.
6. Repeat the motion for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring you maintain control of the dumbbells throughout the entire exercise.
Make sure to keep your movements slow and controlled to focus on muscle contraction and to prevent injury. Always keep your back pressed against the floor to protect your spine. If you are new to this exercise or weight training in general, consider having a spotter or starting with lighter weights to ensure proper form.
