Chest Press: For Beginners to Advanced

  July 10, 2014  |    Blog>Exercise

Ever wish you could get a boob lift without having surgery? Well you can!—thanks to this Chest Press that can be for beginners and altered for those who are more advanced! As you know, from our other chest exercises (like our TRIANGLE PUSH UP) we’re all for anything that not only helps strengthen, slim and tone your arms, shoulders and abs—but also strengthens and tones the muscles above and around the boobs to help pick and perk them up! This means it also lifts your boobs! Yay! And remember, if you don’t have TRX equipment you can substitute a stretchy band or you can lean on a sturdy counter top (scroll down for this demo) and reap the same results!

 To do this simple and easy exercise, follow these steps: (Hello Beginners!—you’ll love that you don’t have to lie on the floor to do this exercise!)

 

  1. Stand with feet shoulder width apart and back facing the anchor of the TRX or tubing. Grab the handles with an overhand grip and extend your arms straight in front of you. Your arms should be at shoulder height.
  2. Keeping your body straight and your abs tight, lean forward so that your body is at a slight diagonal.
  3. Bend your arms so that you’re lowering your body. Keep your body straight as you continue to lower your body as your chest comes down between your hands. Remember to keep those abs engaged as you do it! (Hello tight tummies!).
  4.  Push your body back to start position by pushing and straightening your arms—this will also use your chest.
  1. Do this 10 times for one set. Take a break and do another set.

 

*To make this harder, simply allow your body to be at a greater angle as you do the push up so that you are pushing more of your body weight up.

 

Wow, we see you over there–lookin’ great in that swim suit! 🙂
