March Exercise of the Month

The Overhead Press with Wall Sit is March's Exercise of the Month

This exercise which challenges the lower and upper body is a great time saver when looking to maximize strength work in a short amount of time.



1. With a neutral spine (the back in its natural curve), sit against the wall so your thighs form a 90 degree angle with the floor




2. Start with dumbbells at shoulder height and try to keep your elbows against the wall




 


3. Your arms should maintain light contact with the wall as you press directly overhead




4. Control the movement as you bring the dumbbells back to the starting position








Sheri's Expert Trainer Tip: Start with 10-12 reps and then increase the rep total over time. The longer you do your wall sit, the more challenging this exercise is for your legs!
