How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell vertically at shoulder height. Engage your core, keep your back straight, and press the dumbbell overhead, fully extending your arm. Pause briefly, then slowly lower back to the starting position. Alternate arms.

Tips

Maintain a neutral spine and avoid leaning. Keep your wrist straight. Engage your core for stability. Use controlled movements. Start with a lighter weight. Exhale on the press, inhale on the lower.
