Grasp it at the level of your shoulder with the palm of your hand facing forward then push it overhead in a straight manner until your arm have reached its full extension before it returns from the position where you started. Do this exercise in 10 repetitions, slowly so that you will not strain your arm after which, switch the dumbbell to the other arm. Do the repetitions at least three times from either hands. You have to be sure that your body and arms can tolerate the repetitions otherwise you are prone to muscle wasting as well as injury.

If you are having difficulties with push-ups, you can start with simpler ones like knee push-ups.
