Dumbbell Thruster

This classic move, also known as a squat to overhead press, will fire up the glutes and the back of the legs.

  • Stand with your legs just slightly wider than hip-distance apart, arms raised to shoulder height with elbows bent, holding weights by your ears.
  • Bend your knees, squatting down low, as if you were sitting in a chair, keeping weight on your heels.
  • Press the dumbbells overhead as you straighten your knees to return to standing.
  • We recommend completing three sets of 10 to 15 reps.
