Shoulder Press Machine
Here are the steps to perform a shoulder press machine exercise:
- Adjust the seat to the right height so that the handles are at shoulder height when you are seated.
- Sit down on the machine and place your feet flat on the floor.
- Grab the handles with an overhand grip and make sure your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle.
- Inhale and push the handles up straight in the air, extending your arms fully.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then exhale and slowly lower the handles back down to the starting position.
- Keep your back against the support and your feet flat on the floor throughout the exercise.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the workout. Keep your elbows tucked in and your wrists straight throughout the movement. Additionally, make sure to use a weight that is appropriate for your fitness level and gradually increase the weight as you become stronger.
