This compound move is recommended by David Garza, a NASM-certified personal trainer and master instructor at Love Cycling Studio in Austin, TX. You're getting in some shoulder work while challenging your hamstrings and glutes.
- 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 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.
