How to Do

How to Do Dumbbell Step Up and Shoulder Press

The dumbbell step up and shoulder press should begin with a good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.

If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the dumbbell step up and shoulder press.

Dumbbell Step Up and Shoulder Press Benefits

Step up with shoulder press is a free weights workout that primarily targets the shoulders, but also works the abs, glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, and traps to a lesser extent. Dumbbells and a flat bench are the only shoulder press equipment upgrades that are truly necessary.
