  2. Sit down and grip the handles with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. Press the handles forward and upward until your arms are fully extended.
  4. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly return the handles to the starting position.
  5. Keep your back against the backrest and core engaged throughout the movement.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
