• Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in one hand.
    Bring the dumbbell to your shoulder, with your palm facing forward and your elbow bent.
    From this starting position, extend your arm upwards so that the dumbbell is overhead.
    Make sure to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the movement.
  • Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a dumbbell in each hand.
    Bring the dumbbells to your shoulders, with your palms facing inward and your elbows bent.
    From this starting position, dip your knees slightly and then quickly extend them as you press the dumbbells upwards.
    As you press the dumbbells upwards, also push your hips forward to help generate additional power.
    Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
  • Lay on your side on a bench or box. Place one hand on the floor and the other hand is holding the dumbbell.
    While keeping your elbow mostly extended, raise the dumbbell to the side.
    The end of the range of motion is when the dumbbell is pointed toward the ceiling.
    Make sure you don't flex and extend your elbow.
  • Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and hold two dumbbells overhead with both hands, using an overhand grip.
    Begin the squat by bending at the hips and knees, keeping your core tight and the dumbbells balanced overhead.
    Lower your body as far as you can while keeping the dumbbells overhead, then push back up to the starting position.
    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your back straight, chest lifted, and the dumbbells stable overhead throughout the entire movement.
