About Seated Overhead Press with Wrist Rotation Left

Seated Overhead Press with Wrist Rotation Left combines a left-arm raise and wrist turn with a backward elbow pull. It gives the other side the same opportunity to rehearse that combined path.

What to focus on

Let the hand turn gradually during the raise.
Return the elbow without shifting the whole body backward.

Make the movement smaller

Use a low press and a short return toward the side of the chair.

A mistake to watch for

Arching the chest to finish the lift. Lower the arm range and stay comfortably upright.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Seated Overhead Press with Wrist Rotation Left. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.

Set a firm chair on a nonslip surface and leave room for the arm and leg movements shown. A chair without wheels keeps the setup steady.

Where you will practice it
