A miltary press, also known as a shoulder press, targets the muscles in your shoulders, arms, and chest. It can be done seated or standing.
To do this exercise:
With your palms facing forward, hold a dumbbell above each shoulder, at approximately chin height.
Exhale as you press the dumbbells up, ending with the weights above your head, your elbows slightly bent.
Hold the dumbbells above your head for a moment, then slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.
