Overhead Press w/ Tube and Dumbbells 

1. Begin by looping light tubing under step to secure it (or you can sit on a chair and secure tube under feet) and wrap ends of tubing around light-medium dumbbells. 
2. Start the move by sitting down and pulling tube/weights up next to ears, elbows bent and palms face in.
3. Push the arms straight up overhead, keeping a slight bend in the elbows at the top of the movement.
4. Keep abs contracted as well and try not to arch the back.
5. Lower and repeat.  
6. Adjust the tension of the tube as needed to add challenge while still keeping good form.

Tips:

• Keep the tubing light--you want to add challenge without compromising form.
• Avoid this move if you have any shoulder problems or feel pain in the shoulders (or anywhere else).
• If you don't feel safe and in control, choose one type of resistance to use.
