Exercise of the day Wednesday 12/05/2010


Dumbbell Shoulder Press:

This is a nice simple exercise to work the deltoid and triceps muscles.
Perform this seated, this way you wont be tempted to arch your back, firstly select a weight that is doable, remember the dumbbells will be going above your head, to heavy a weight and this could hurt!
Hold the weights so they are inline with the top of your shoulders, then press the weight upwards then return to the start position, also, hold the weight so your palms would be facing forwards, this can be altered, and when you do so so does the position of the muscle in its contraction, you could also do this exercise using a barbell or kettle bell.
