Kinesis Shoulder Press

Video coming soon...

The kinesis shoulder press workout is designed to primarily engage the shoulders using the kinesis machine.

The kinesis machine allows for a wide range of motion, targeting the deltoids, trapezius, and rotator cuff muscles.

By using the kinesis machine, the workout provides a more controlled and stable environment for shoulder exercises.

While the kinesis shoulder press may also engage the triceps and upper back muscles, its main focus is on the shoulders.

Stand facing the kinesis machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Grasp the handles of the kinesis machine with an overhand grip, palms facing forward.
Engage your core and keep your back straight as you press the handles forward and upward.
Extend your arms fully, but do not lock your elbows.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your shoulder muscles.
Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Repeat the press for the desired number of repetitions.

Focus on maintaining proper posture throughout the exercise. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, engage your core, and keep your shoulders back and down. This will help you target your shoulder muscles effectively and avoid unnecessary strain on other parts of your body.
Start with a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form. Gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable and confident in your technique. Remember, it’s better to start light and progress gradually than to risk injury by lifting too heavy too soon.
As you press the handles forward, visualize pushing through your shoulders, not just your arms. Imagine your shoulder muscles contracting and working hard to move the handles. This mind-muscle connection will help you engage your shoulders more effectively and maximize the benefits of the exercise.
Control the movement both on the way up and on the way down. Avoid using momentum or swinging your body to lift the weight. Instead, focus on a slow and controlled movement, emphasizing the contraction of your shoulder muscles throughout the entire range of motion.
Don’t forget to breathe! Inhale as you lower the handles and exhale as you press them forward. Proper breathing not only helps you maintain focus and control, but it also provides oxygen to your muscles, enhancing their performance and preventing fatigue.
