Calorie Burner

Here’s an exercise to add to your repertoire: the dumbbell push press. This exercise will burn those calories and get your heart pumping. This is a full-body workout that works your shoulders, chest, triceps, and legs. It’s a great exercise to add to your upper body strength training routine. You can always add more weight as you get stronger but start with a weight you can handle. You don’t want to risk getting injured.

Here’s how to do the dumbbell push press:

1. Start by holding a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder level, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Dip your knees slightly and then explosively press the dumbbells overhead, extending your arms fully.
3. As you press the dumbbells up, jump slightly off the ground and land softly with your knees slightly bent to absorb the impact.
4. Immediately press the dumbbells back to your shoulders and repeat the movement for 8-10 reps.

Once you’ve completed the desired number of reps, lower the dumbbells back down to your sides and rest for a minute or two before starting your next set.

Adding Pushups

Add pushups as a new challenge to the target the upper body and core even more. Start off with a set of pushups. Take a 30-second rest and go into your dumbbell push press. Perform this for five rounds. Be sure to set a realistic number of reps. For pushups go for 20 reps and 10 reps for your dumbbell push press. You do not want to go too heavy with the barbells so as to not burn out your chest and shoulders. You can also add the dumbbell push press to your circuit training.

So, there you have it! The dumbbell push press is a great exercise to add to your strength training routine. It works your whole body, burns calories, and gets your heart pumping. Give it a try and see how you like it!
