Overhead Press: Upper-Body Strengthening



This upper-body strengthener can help make everyday tasks — like getting dishes down from a high shelf — easier.

-Stand or sit with good posture, making sure to keep your head up and back straight.

-Start with both arms out to the side, elbows bent and hands at about ear height.

-Using some light dumbbells or soup cans, extend your arms up, above your head (so that your biceps are close to your ears).

-Then bring them back down to starting position.

-Work up to 10 consecutive reps.

* Like any exercise program, please consult your healthcare professional before you begin. Please stop immediately if any of the exercises cause pain or harm to your body.
