Seated Overhead Triceps Extension

Seated Overhead Triceps Extension

- An optional light dumbbell or water bottle (if extra resistance is desired)

Positioning:
1. Sit at the edge of the chair with your back straight and feet flat on the ground. Keep your knees at a 90-degree angle.
2. Hold a dumbbell or water bottle with both hands. Raise it above your head, extending your arms straight up.

Movement:
1. Slowly bend your elbows to lower the dumbbell behind your head. Keep your elbows close to your ears throughout the movement.
2. Lower the weight until your forearms are parallel to the ground or slightly below, depending on your flexibility.
3. Exhale as you extend your arms back to the starting position, lifting the weight overhead.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, generally between 8-12 reps.

Tips:
- Ensure that your core is engaged to support your back during the exercise.
- Keep movements controlled to avoid straining your shoulders or elbows.
- If using a dumbbell feels too challenging, you can perform this exercise without weights to master the form first.
