Dumbbell Presses for Toned Shoulders

Dumbbell presses are great for toned shoulders but you can get a lot more out of your shoulder workout by combining them with high energy lower body exercises that really turn up the fat burning. These two variations tone the shoulders, work legs, glutes, and even abs.



Exercise
Alt squat and press
1. Start by holding a dumbell in each hand at shoulder level.
2. Squat down to about parallel and explode up to a standing position.
3. Once you have squatted half way up then starting pressing the dumbells over your head.
4. Use the momentum from your squat to propel the dumbells above your head. Remember to stay in control of the dumbells at all times.
