À propos de cet exercice
The Dumbbell Alternating Floor Press is a strength-building exercise that primarily targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps, while also engaging the core for stability. It's an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced fitness enthusiasts as it can be easily adjusted to different fitness levels.

Conseils techniques
As you lower one dumbbell, keep your other arm straight. Lower the dumbbell until your upper arm touches the floor. Pause, then press the dumbbell back up to the starting position. The key here is to control the movement both on the way down and on the way up. Avoid letting the dumbbell drop quickly or bounce off the floor, as this can cause strain or injury.
Throughout the exercise, it's important to maintain a flat back against the floor. Avoid arching your back or lifting your lower back off the floor, as this can lead to back injuries.
