Here’s an alternative to the traditional military press.  Begin by sitting on the end of a workout bench with two 5 lb. dumbbells held at your waist.  Tighten your abs as you push the dumbbell in the right hand to the ceiling until your arm is straightened.  Now lower the weight until your right elbow touches your waist.  Raise your left arm now and repeat each motion for 3 sets of 10 repetitions on each arm.

To do the alternating military press, start by holding two 5 lb. dumbbells in each hand.  Stand with your knees slightly bent and your feet a foot apart.  Squeeze your abs and keep the dumbbells at the level of your shoulders.  Make sure that your elbows are touching your waist at this point.  Now press the dumbbell in your right hand up to the ceiling and then bring it down to shoulder level again.  Press the dumbbell in the left hand up to the ceiling now and then down again.  Repeat the movement for 2 sets of 10 repetitions on each side.
