1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Begin by positioning the dumbbells just behind your head with elbows bent and palms facing forward.
3. Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the movement.
4. Press the dumbbells upward until your arms are fully extended above your head.
5. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position just behind your head.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions, ensuring you maintain control of the dumbbells at all times.
7. Make sure to breathe out as you press the weights up and breathe in as you lower them down.
Note: It is important to use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form to avoid injury. If you are new to this exercise, start with lighter weights to master the movement before increasing the weight.
