The kinesis overhead press<\/a> is a whole-body strength and stability exercise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe exercise is a functional progression from the seated Kinesis overhead press.<\/a> It places greater demands on the core and leg muscles. Proper execution will also require higher levels of balance and postural control, which will mean a reduction in weight in the beginning.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nHOW<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSelect a\nweight that is a little less than you would typically choose for a seated kinesis\npress. <\/li>Grab the\nhandles on each side and bring them to the front of the shoulders. Soften the\nknees, set the shoulders, and engage the core. <\/li>Press the\nhandles overhead until arms are straight, pausing momentarily before returning.\n<\/li>Repeat for\nreps or time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY<\/h2>\n\n\n\nDuring a seated kinesis overhead press, the lower body is mostly redundant. The hips\/pelvis are in a fixed position, and there is little involvement of the legs. In the standing kinesis overhead press, the lower body must now help to stabilize the movement. You must also minimize the excessive hip\/pelvic\/low back motion via engagement of the core muscles. This exercise then becomes a whole-body movement. <\/li>As well as being a progression of the seated press, this exercise can also be regarded as a stepping stone to free weights pressing \u2013 for example, dumbbells, kettlebells and barbells. The unstable nature of cable training will help to develop higher levels of joint stability that will prepare the body for free weights control. <\/li>Standing cable training movements are often underestimated in workouts, but they can play a significant part in both corrective exercise and injury rehabilitation. Many joint injuries often exhibit a substantial loss of joint stability and control. While you can restore strength to the surrounding muscles, joint stability can remain limited. One of the most effective ways of restoring this stability and control is via the use of cables and bands. The unstable nature of these tools brings about what\u2019s known as \u2018reflexive stabilization \u2013 a mechanism that promotes natural, unconscious control of joint stability and motion, by challenging balance, coordination and strength \u2013 simultaneously. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you like the tutorial for the Kinesis overhead press?
