Instructions
1. Begin by sitting on a padded stool or bench with a straight back, feet flat on the floor, and core engaged. Your palms should be facing forward with elbows bent, similar to the start of an incline chest press.
2. Press your arms overhead in a smooth and controlled motion, extending your elbows but not locking them out. Your biceps should be close to your ears, and your upper body should be slightly leaning back to mimic the incline press angle.
3. As you reach the top of the press, step one foot out to the side, engaging your core and lower body to maintain balance and stability.
4. With control, lower your arms back down to the original position, bringing the stepped-out foot back to the starting position.
5. Repeat the motion, this time stepping out with the alternate foot. This adds a stability challenge and engages your core muscles.
6. Continue alternating feet with each repetition. Make sure to control the weight and movement throughout the exercise to ensure muscles are properly engaged and the risk of injury is minimized. Ensure proper form is maintained during the exercise to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness. If using weights, select an appropriate weight that allows for completion of the exercise with good form.
