Instructions
1. Begin in a standard push-up position with one hand on a dumbbell. Ensure that your body is in a straight line from head to heels, with your feet shoulder-width apart and your core engaged.
2. Lower your chest towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
3. As you press back up, rotate your torso and lift the dumbbell up and over your body, fully extending your arm so that the dumbbell is now on the other side.
4. Your body should now be facing the opposite direction, with the other hand on the dumbbell.
5. Perform another push-up and again lift the dumbbell over your body to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, alternating the hand that is on the dumbbell each time.
Ensure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness. It's recommended to choose a dumbbell weight that allows for controlled movement and stability during the push up and rotation phases.
