Benefits
The Standing Alternating Dumbbell Shoulder Press targets the deltoids, primarily working the front and middle portions of the shoulder. It also engages the core and stabilizing muscles, as the standing position requires balance and control. This exercise improves shoulder strength, stability, and coordination while enhancing overall upper body endurance.
