#2 Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press
The seated dumbbell press hits the lateral deltoids more intensely. It also helps in improved control and balance of the shoulders and upper arms as you move the weights individually with each hand.

Instructions:
Step 1: Sit on a bench or a chair and hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height with an overhand grip (palms facing forward away from you).
Step 2: Keep your head straight, spine aligned and press the weights above your head in an arc towards each other with both your arms fully extended.
Step 3: Do not let the dumbbell touch each other at the top. Reverse the motion under control back to the starting position and repeat.
Important Tip: This exercise requires a lot of coordination and focus when being performed. Make sure that you breathe normally. Do 3 sets of 10 reps each.
