Overhead Press With Weights

Welcome to your Workout of the Week, June 12!  This month we will practice resistance training with free-weight dumbbells.  If you don’t have weights at home or in the office, you can use books, water bottles, or anything that has weight as resistance. 

James Robinson (or Jay), Senior Vice President/Area Manager for Sac & SSC, will demonstrate this month’s exercises.  Jay has a deep passion for exercise and works out regularly.  He does weightlifting, swimming, golfing, and has recently started to play pickleball.     

Exercise: Overhead Press

How to perform: Hold the weight with your elbow at 90 degrees and palm facing away from your body.  Exhale, push the weight above your head.  Inhale, slowly return the weight to starting position.    

Duration: Perform for 10 repetitions on both the right and left side.
