Benefits of Z-Press
- improves Strength: The Z Press is designed to work your upper body muscles. It eliminates leg and hip support, allowing it to double down on how strong you’ll get up above with this one! All pressure flows outwards towards our gorgeous shoulders while stopping just shy of the hamstrings, which means no more aches or pains elsewhere.
- Enhances Shoulder Health and Flexibility The Z Press is a fantastic warm-up for the shoulders because it increases the capacity to take on weight.
- Boosts Core Strength & Works Muscles : The core muscles are an essential group of muscles that connect the lower body to your upper half. They help transfer energy from one area for you to balance and perform other physical activities, such as running or jumping, with greater efficiency by providing support where it’s needed most- between our hips and shoulders. The Z Press takes this idea towards the emphasis on abs and hips while the leg and knee coverage is left to be done by the core muscles and the upper body.
Z-Press– Muscles Worked
- The Z Press is a great exercise to work your upper and lower body. It engages several muscle groups, with two categories; the first is pressing muscles that are engaged directly in raising or lowering the arm during Z press movements from the chest region down into the shoulders and neck area.
- The second group is the stabilizing ones that help keep balance during instability due to the press-like motion.
