Instructions

Setup

  • Start in a tall kneeling position on a mat. Ensure your knees are hip-width apart and your core is engaged to maintain stability.

  • Hold one dumbbell in the working hand at shoulder height, with your palm facing toward your face.

Movement

  • Press and Rotate: Drive the dumbbell upward while simultaneously rotating your wrist so that your palm faces forward at the top of the movement.

  • Full Extension: Fully extend your arm toward the ceiling, keeping your core stable and avoiding arching your lower back.

  • Return: Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position with your palm facing your face, rotating your wrist as you descend.

  • Stability Hold: While performing the movement with one arm, keep the non-working arm stationary. You may hold a dumbbell in the non-working hand at shoulder height to maintain balance and engagement.
