DB side step touch waist to overhead exercise is a full-body workout that targets the arms, shoulders, core, and legs. It involves standing with feet shoulder-width apart, holding dumbbells at the sides. The exercise starts with a side step to the right, followed by a touch of the left hand to the right foot. Then, the left foot steps back to the starting position, and the dumbbells are lifted overhead, engaging the shoulders and arms. This movement is repeated on the left side, creating a fluid side-to-side motion. The core is engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance and stability.
