#1. Shoulder Press

Sit on a military press bench or bench that has a back support, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip.

Place the dumbbells on top of your thighs with your palms facing down.

Raise the dumbbells to your shoulders.

Rotate your wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing away from you. This is the start position.

As you exhale,  push the dumbbells up and over your head by extending your arms until the dumbbells touch at the top of the movement.

Pause for a count of one.

Slowly return to the start position inhaling as you do so.

Repeat.

#2. Tricep Extensions

Sit on a bench with back support.

Grip a dumbbell at one end using both hands. Your palms should be facing inward.

Hold the dumbbell overhead with your arms fully extended.  This is the the start position.

Keep your upper arms close to your head (biceps roughly level with your temples) and near to 90degrees to the floor.

Moving only your forearms, lower the dumbbell in a smooth arc behind your head until your forearms and biceps touch. Hold for a count of one.

Return to the start position by using the triceps to extend your arm and raise the dumbbell. Exhale as you do this.

Repeat.

#3. Push Ups

1. With your legs extended back, place the hands below the shoulders, slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
2. Start bending your elbows and lower your chest until it’s just above the floor.
3. Push back to the starting position. A 1-second push, 1-second pause, 2-second down count is ideal.
4. Repeat.

PROPER FORM AND BREATHING PATTERN

While doing the push-up exercise focus on keeping your head in line with your torso, and your torso in line with your hips. Engage your core muscles, maintain your body in a straight line and exhale as you push back. Take the pressure off the wrists and place it on the outside of your hands.

#4. Up-Down Plank

Start in the plank position with your elbows shoulder-width apart.

Press yourself up from the floor one arm at a time into a push-up, maintaining your body in a straight line.

Slowly return to the starting plank position the same way, one arm at a time.

Repeat the movement alternating sides.

#5. Side Lateral Raises

1. Grab a set of dumbbells and stand straight.
2. With your palms facing down, lift the dumbbells and raise your arms out to the sides.
3. Once your elbows are at shoulder height, pause, and then slowly lower the arms back to the initial position.
4. Repeat.

PROPER FORM AND BREATHING PATTERN

While doing the dumbbell lateral raise exercise keep your core engaged, your back straight and face front. Inhale as you lower the dumbbells and maintain your elbows and your knees slightly bent.
