The second of the big compound lifts (after last week's squat Post) is the overhead press or OHP for short.
This is a great exercise focusing on the deltoids (shoulder muscles) but using many muscles like the pectorals and glutes to assist.
I've added in an upright row to the start of the move as this also incorporates the deltoids.

A great new personal training service based in the Hilton, offering great routines and motivation to help you achieve your own personal fitness goal.
Compound lifts use multiple muscles and joints similtanously.
The first of four main compound lifts is the back squat (back relating to where the bar sits). This exercise works the glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps as well as your core to stabilise.
Getting a good balanced stance, and keeping the back straight and chest up are where many people falter. But with a few quick hints and tips this can be fixed.

A great article this morning on the BBC about the importance of strength training.
Increase bone density, decrease risk of frailty and falls as you age, decrease resting heart rate and blood pressure... So many benefits to resistance exercise!
'Age better by doing right workouts' We should all be doing strengthening exercises as well as aerobic activity, a report says.
