The dumbbell curl to shoulder press is a very effective exercise that not only targets the biceps but also activates the muscles in the shoulder region as well. The exercise could even be performed by beginners and casual trainers, thanks to its simple motion.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight and hold dumbbells in both the hands with the palms facing away from the body. The arms should be fully extended and parallel to the body in the starting position.

Step 2: Gradually lift the weights upwards while keeping your upper arms stationary. Lift the weights until they are in line with the shoulders.

Step 3: Extend the upwards while simultaneously rotating your arms until they are fully extended overhead.

Step 4: Pause for a moment and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Do not use momentum to lower the weights. Focus on a controlled motion for an effective workout.
