Single-Arm Dumbbell Shoulder Press for Women
Single-Arm Dumbbell Shoulder Press
- Stand holding a dumbbell just outside your shoulder, with your arm bent. Set your feet shoulder-width apart, and slightly bend your knees.
- Press the weight upward until your arm is completely straight. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position. Complete the prescribed number of reps with your right arm, then immediately do the same number with your left arm.
Tip Because using one dumbbell causes uneven weight distribution across your body, this exercise increases the challenge to your core, making those muscles work harder to keep you balanced.
