Seated Shoulder Press: Sit with your back straight and your feet firmly planted on the floor. Hold the dumbbells parallel to your shoulders at ear level with palms facing out. Press up towards the ceiling keeping the weights parallel and in line with the shoulders throughout the full motion above your head. Return to the start position making sure you keep the abdominal muscles tight to support the back. Keep a controlled 2 count on the press and a controlled 4 count on the release. Exhale on the press as you exert energy.
