Dumbbell Elevated Push-Up

1. Place two dumbbells slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on a stable surface. Ensure the dumbbells will not roll or move during the exercise.

2. Assume a high plank position with your hands gripping the dumbbells, arms fully extended, and your feet together.

3. Keep your body straight from your head to your heels, engaging your core and glute muscles to maintain a rigid body line.

4. Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows until your chest goes deeper than your hands, allowing for an increased range of motion compared to a standard push-up.

5. Keep your elbows close to your body to maximize triceps engagement and to protect your shoulder joints.

6. Press back up powerfully to fully extend your arms, returning to the starting position.

7. Perform the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Safety Tips:

- Always perform a warm-up before beginning the exercise to prepare your muscles and joints.

- Ensure the dumbbells used are secure and capable of supporting your body weight without tipping or rolling.

- Keep your movements controlled, especially during the lowering phase, to prevent injury.

- Stop the exercise if you experience any pain or discomfort that goes beyond muscle fatigue.
