This is a full-body compound exercise combining a squat and a shoulder press.
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height or by your sides.
1. Push your hips back and lower into a squat position.
2. As you stand up, lift the dumbbells to shoulder height.
3. Then, press the dumbbells overhead.
4. Lower the dumbbells back to the shoulder-start position and repeat.
Inhale while going down, and exhale when you rise and lift the dumbbells.
1. Be careful not to let your knees go too far past your toes.
2. If you have shoulder pain, reduce or stop the range of the press.
