How to do it
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height. Your palms should be facing forward, and your elbows should be bent at a 90-degree angle.
Engage your core and press the right dumbbell overhead until your arm is fully extended. Keep your left dumbbell in the starting position.
Lower the right dumbbell back to shoulder height in a controlled manner.
Repeat, alternating arms for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement to maintain tension in the muscles.
Breathe out as you press the dumbbell overhead and breathe in as you lower it.
Ensure your wrists remain straight and aligned with your forearms throughout the exercise.
