Dumbbell Punches Instructions
1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, your knees slightly bent, and hold a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Take a step forward with your left foot, keep your back foot at a 45-degree angle and position your body partially sideways.
3. Bring your arms up, so that the palms of the hands are facing the sides of the face.
4. Push your right arm out in a punching motion and then return to the starting position.
5. Switch sides and repeat.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Distribute your weight equally between both feet and shift the weight onto the balls of the feet. Roll your shoulders forward, keep your chin down and look up. Exhale as you push one arm out and don’t extend your arm completely.
