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 each other, and your elbows should be bent at a 60-degree angle and facing downward.
Press the right dumbbell overhead and slightly lean to the opposite side until your arm is fully extended.
Lower the right dumbbell back to shoulder height in a controlled manner and press the left dumbbell overhead and slightly to the side.
Continue alternating arms for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring a smooth and controlled movement.
Form tips
Breathe out as you press the dumbbell overhead and breathe in as you lower it.
Maintain a controlled pace to maximize muscle engagement and avoid using momentum.
Ensure your wrists remain straight and aligned with your forearms throughout the exercise.
