By adding the overhead reach, you can also increase your upper-body strength and endurance. Step 1: Start by sitting at the front of a chair while holding a weight cradled in your hands at about chin height with your palms facing one another. Step 2: Carefully stand up, then push the weight overhead; hold for three seconds. Resist the temptation to hold your breath. Step 3: Slowly lower the weight back to chin level and return to a sitting position. Step 4: Standing up and lifting the weight overhead counts as one repetition. Try to perform three sets of 12 repetitions, adjusting sets/repetitions up or down as needed. Squat-based exercises are generally strenuous and can be challenging at first. You will improve over time.
