Aerobic Step Step Up Overhead Press

Video coming soon...

The aerobic step step up overhead press workout is a dynamic exercise that targets the shoulders and quads.

By stepping up onto the aerobic step and performing an overhead press, the shoulders are engaged and strengthened.

The quads are also heavily involved as they are used to lift the body up onto the step.

While other muscles may be activated to a lesser extent, the focus of this workout is primarily on the shoulders and quads.

Stand facing the aerobic step with your feet hip-width apart.
Place your hands on the dumbbells, palms facing forward, and lift them to shoulder height.
Step up onto the aerobic step with your right foot, keeping your left foot on the ground.
Press the dumbbells overhead, fully extending your arms.
Lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height.
Step down with your right foot, returning to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise, stepping up with your left foot this time.

Focus on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged. Keep your knees slightly bent to protect your joints and ensure stability.
As you step up onto the aerobic step, drive through your heels and engage your quads to lift your body up. Imagine pushing the ground away from you with each step, activating those powerful leg muscles.
Once you are in a stable position on the step, bring your dumbbells up to shoulder height, palms facing forward. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, press the dumbbells overhead, extending your arms fully. Feel the burn in your shoulders as you power through the movement.
Remember to keep your core tight and your back straight throughout the exercise. Avoid arching your lower back or hunching your shoulders forward. This will help you maintain proper alignment and prevent any unnecessary strain on your muscles.
As you lower the dumbbells back down to shoulder height, control the movement and resist the urge to let gravity take over. This eccentric phase of the exercise is just as important as the concentric phase, so make it count. Feel the tension in your shoulders and quads as you slowly lower the weights.
