Dumbbell floor press

Muscles worked

Main: Chest · Also: Triceps, Shoulders

Measured in reps.

Lie on your back on the floor, knees bent, a dumbbell in each hand over your chest.
Lower the weights until your upper arms lightly touch the floor.
Press up until your arms are straight above your chest.

Tip: The floor stops your elbows going too deep, which is kind to the shoulders.

You have a current problem with your shoulders. This exercise puts load through it.
Done lying on your back. This is not recommended during pregnancy for some of these, so check with your midwife or doctor.

General guidance only, not medical advice. Stop if anything hurts, and get advice from a doctor or qualified professional if pain continues.
