Work out routine of the month: Dumbbell Thruster
The Dumbbell Thruster is an amazing full body exercise that can jump start a workout if done with heavy weights before, or it can be an excellent way to end your work out session if done with lighter weights.
Here are the instructions on how to do a Dumbbell Thruster. You can also look to Youtube to watch a video on appropriate form.
- Start with your feet a little wider than shoulder width and hold dumbbells on your shoulder with your knuckles facing up and your elbows straight down in front.
- Descend back into a squat while keeping your elbows high.
- As soon as you reach the bottom position begin to stand up.
- As soon as you reach the top push the dumbbells up with the momentum from your hips.
- Catch the dumbbells and start again.
Sprinkle this into your leg day, shoulder day, or work out when you need to sweat!
