Military Press


Dumbbell Military Press for the Shoulders

1. Sit upright in a chair with a back rest. Use light weights in each hand, with palms facing forward.


2. Start the movement with both hands just above your shoulders.


3. Lift both arms up above your head with your elbows pointed outward. Stop the upward movement just before your elbows begin to lock. Your arms should be slightly bent at the top of the movement.


4. Slowly lower the weights back to the start position.

This will constitute one repetition. Make sure to inhale when lowering the weights and exhale when pressing the weights above the head. You may try 8 - 10 reps for one or two sets.
