Press (Sitting)

Performing the press while in a seated position is a great shoulder and core exercise. Since you have no ability to cheat by adding a leg drive the work is put squarely on your shoulders. Your core is also given a workout by supporting your upper body. If you are in between sizes of kettlebells, perform the seated press to build the strength needed to increase the weight. This is a great upper body strengthening exercise.
