Dumbbell floor press
Press light dumbbells from a supported floor position.
How to do it
- Lie on a mat with knees bent and light dumbbells above your chest.
- Bend your elbows until the upper arms gently reach the floor.
- Press up smoothly with wrists above elbows.
Form check
Set down weights carefully; ask for help if getting into position is awkward.
Make it easier
Use a wall push-up.
Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
