Arnold Press

This exercise can be performed either seated or standing, however aim to keep the back straight, and avoid swinging the body, or lifting up with your legs.

START	MIDDLE	FINISH

Hold suitably weighted dumbbells in each hand at shoulder height, with your palms facing you, having the weights close to your face, with your elbows tucked in close to your chest.

As you lift the weights directly above your head, slowly rotate the dumbbells so that your palms are facing away from you in the upper phase.

You may decide to rotate the weights with your hands close together to also work the triceps, or take the elbows out wide to work the chest.

Lower down under control, again rotating your palms back in to your starting position.
