This move is a favourite of CrossFit athletes, said Nerissa Zhang, a certified USAW and USA Powerlifting coach and founder of the Bright App. "These are so good because they work your legs, glutes, core, back, and shoulder at the same time."
- Stand with your legs just slightly wider than hip-distance apart, dumbbells raised to shoulder height with elbows bent. Your palms should be facing in.
- Bend your knees into a squat, keeping your core engaged, your back flat, and your weight in your heels.
- Push through your heels and straighten your knees to stand. Simultaneously press the dumbbells overhead, turning your hands so your palms are facing out and lifting the weights above your head. Pause with your arms almost fully extended, with a slight bend in your elbows.
- Drop the dumbbells back to your shoulders, turning them once again so your palms face in.
- This counts as one rep.
