(Difficulty: Beginner)
Description:
- stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a small weight in each hand.
- bring the weights up to shoulder level, elbows bent in front of your body
- Push the weights straight up above your head
- modification: add in a slight knee bend, and then stand back up as you push the weights above your head. This helps the exercise use your legs to push the weights rather than strictly your arms.
