A Smart Workout: The Seated Shoulder Press

A Smart Workout: The Seated Shoulder Press
JORGE’S DAILY FIT TIP

The seated shoulder press will pump up your deltoids (your shoulder muscles) and triceps. Do this move on a bench to ensure your back is situated at a perfect 90-degree angle when you’re raising and lowering the weights. Believe me, you’ll love having stronger, shapelier shoulders. Not only will sturdy deltoids give you better posture, but they’ll also help hold up heavy bags!

Step 1: Hold a pair of dumbbells and sit on an upright bench. With your palms facing forward, extend the weights up over your head.

Step 2: Breathe slowly as you lower the weights through a count of 10 seconds.

Step 3: Hold and squeeze for 2 seconds at the maximum tension point (chin level).

Step 4: Press the weight up to the starting point through a count of 10 seconds.

Step 5: Repeat three times without resting.
