In this video in the Staying Strong and Healthy video series, Dreu White, exercise physiologist at KU Medical Center, teaches proper form for a sitting overhead press. This video is part of the Staying Strong and Healthy Prostate Cancer intervention.

1. Stable Base: Learn the importance of standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and engaging your core to maintain stability throughout the movement.
2. Hand Position: Discover how to hold the handles of the resistance band with an overhand grip, palms facing forward, at shoulder height.
3. Pushing Motion: Follow our instructions to press the handles overhead in a controlled manner, fully extending your arms without locking out your elbows at the top.
4. Modifications: Find out how to modify the exercise for those with shoulder issues or limited overhead mobility. We’ll show you how reducing the range of motion, using a lighter resistance band, or performing seated overhead presses can help alleviate strain.

Discover practical exercises you can do at home in the Staying Strong and Healthy app and video series. Let’s prioritize health together!
