Dumbbell Shoulder Press

Start by sitting on a sturdy bench with a backrest, holding a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height. Your palms should be facing forward, and your elbows should be bent at a 90-degree angle. Engage your core muscles to maintain stability throughout the exercise. Press the dumbbells upward until your arms are fully extended overhead but be sure not to lock out your elbows at the top of the movement. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to shoulder height, keeping control of the movement.

Dumbbell Shoulder Rotations

Start holding a dumbbell in each hand with the your elbows up at 90 degree angle. Rotate the dumbbells up until your fist are over your elbows.

Dumbbell Bicep Curls

Stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand, arms fully extended down by your sides, palms facing forward. Keep your elbows close to your torso and exhale as you curl the weights upward, bringing the dumbbells towards your shoulders. Focus on keeping your upper arms stationary throughout the movement. Contract your biceps at the top of the movement, squeezing them for a moment. Inhale as you slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, maintaining control and resisting the urge to swing the weights.
