The Dumbbell Seated Alternate Shoulder exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the deltoid muscles in the shoulders. This exercise can help improve shoulder stability and strength.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Seated Alternate Shoulder exercise, follow these steps:1. Sit on a bench or chair with your back straight and your feet flat on the ground.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward, and rest the dumbbells on your thighs.
3. Lift one dumbbell to shoulder level, keeping your elbow slightly bent.
4. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
5. Repeat the movement with the other arm, alternating sides with each repetition.
6. Perform 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions on each arm, with a 30-60 second rest between sets.
It's important to maintain a controlled and smooth movement throughout the exercise, and to avoid using momentum to lift the dumbbells. Make sure to choose a weight that challenges your muscles but allows you to maintain proper form.
