Bodyweight Military Press

How to Do:

1. Start: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides.
2. Form: Raise arms to shoulder height, elbows bent at 90 degrees, palms forward.
3. Engage: Tighten your core and glutes for stability.
4. Press: Slowly press hands overhead, extending arms fully without locking elbows.
5. Pause: Hold for a second at the top, then lower slowly to the starting position.
6. Repeat: Perform for desired reps.

Tips:

• Keep your head aligned with your spine and avoid leaning back.
• Engage your core for stability.
• Focus on using your shoulder muscles to press, not momentum.
• Breathe naturally—exhale as you press, inhale as you lower.

Benefits:

• Shoulder Strength: Targets shoulder muscles, improving strength and stability.
• Posture: Helps correct postural issues by strengthening muscles around the scapula.
• Functional Movement: Mimics overhead pushing motions for better performance in daily activities and sports.
• Convenient: No equipment needed, can be done anywhere with just bodyweight.
