Lateral Squat to Overhead Press

Setup

• Place a resistance band around your thighs, just above the knees.

• Stand with feet together, holding a pair of dumbbells at shoulder height with your elbows bent and palms facing forward.

Movement

• Step and Squat: Step one foot out to the side into a wide stance and lower your hips down and back into a squat position, keeping your knees pushed out against the band.

• Transition: As you rise from the squat, step your feet back together.

• Press: From the standing position with your feet together, press the dumbbells straight up overhead until your arms are fully extended.

• Repeat: Lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height and step out to the opposite side to repeat the movement.
