Standing Dumbbell Tricep Extension

Step 1

Holding a single dumbbell with both hands, plant both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms above your head, ensuring that they are on either side of your ears. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. While keeping your shoulders as still as possible, bend your elbows to lower the dumbbell behind your head.

Step 3

Exhale. Using your triceps, extend your elbows to return to the starting position, ensuring that your shoulders, elbows and wrists remain in line with one another at all times. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
