Standing Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Step 1
Holding a dumbbell in each hand, plant both feet on the floor hip-width apart. Gently raise the dumbbells to shoulder height directly in front of your chest, holding them with a overhand grip (palms facing away from you). This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Exhale. Using the muscles in both your shoulders and arms, extend your elbows and press the dumbbells up above your head, ensuring that your arms are in line with your ears.
Step 3
Inhale. Once your arms are fully extended, bend your elbows to lower the dumbbells into your chest. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
