Start standing with dumbbells at shoulder height, palms facing forward. Press one dumbbell up overhead, fully extending the arm, then lower it back down to shoulder height. Repeat on the other side for your single press before pressing both dumbbells up overhead at the same time for your double press. Keep your core engaged, avoid arching your lower back, and control the movement on the way down. That's one rep.
