UMP UP YOUR PECS, BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE
By Rob Parr, MSNBC The Fit List
When you think of a buff chest, celebs like Matthew McConaughey probably come to mind. Pumped-up pecs look good on guys at the beach, but they also wear well at the office. Strong chest muscles can help men — and women — stand up straighter and carry themselves with confidence.
Here’s a workout that will really challenge your chest.
Start by warming up on the floor with some push-ups. If you can’t do the full military push-ups right away, modify them by pushing up from your knees rather than your toes. Do a set of 20, then 15, then 10 and 5, with a 20-second break in between each set.
Next, you’ll need a set of dumbbells for a combination of two chest exercises. Start by lying down on your back on a weight bench or the floor with your knees bent up.
The first exercise is the chest fly. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms out to your sides, slightly bent at the elbows. Then press your arms straight up so that the dumbbells just come together (don’t bang them). Pause and then lower to the starting position. Do a total of 10 repetitions and then move directly on to the next exercise, the dumbbell press.
