Mondays Move of the Week: Today we feature One Health Clubs Personal Trainer Jennifer McKeogh (Morra) performing an Incline Dumbell Press. Check back next Monday for another #MoveoftheWeek The #InclineDumbellPress involves putting the bench on an incline (slanted upwards) which allows you to work your upper pec muscles and the front of the shoulder. Make sure your chest is out and your shoulder blades are set before you begin. To set your shoulder blades - hold your shoulder blades down and back (this should be maintained for the duration of the exercise). Hold the dumbells out to the side parallel to the floor then press the weights up to the top keeping the wights parallel the whole time. Slowly lower the weights back to your starting position and repeat. Avoid arching your back when pressing upwards as this will put too much stress on your lower spine. Be sure to pick a weight that you can handle but one that is challenging enough for your last 2-3 reps. ow.ly/xh9Pv
