Pushups this one may seem basic, but there?s no denying that pushups are one of the best ways to strengthen the pectoral muscles. These can be done on the knees or toes. If you?re not ready for full pushups, start with your hands resting on a solid surface higher than your feet ? like a very sturdy coffee table or the edge of a couch, cushions removed, that?s pressed up against a wall ? and start on the toes. Having your hands higher than your feet and your body at an angle can be a good way to start a pushup regimen. As you get stronger, you can begin to lower the angle of your body. This will help you transition to full pushups more easily than going from knees to toes. A full plank engages the muscles differently, even at an angle. When doing pushups, aim for 2 sets of 10 reps per day. 1.start in plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your core engaged. 2.as you lower, inhale. 3.as you engage your muscles to push yourself up, exhale. Keep your elbows hugging in close to your body. Keep your focus on slowly breathing as you do these, and on engaging the pectorals while keeping the core tight. Don?t just crank these out to get them done ? this can compromise your form and do more harm than good. If the movement is really tough, break the sets into three or five to start, or find a higher point to begin after a week of exercise. If necessary, you can even stand and do pushups pushing against a wall. Chest fly for this exercise, you?ll need a bench or exercise ball as well as some dumbbells. If you don?t have weights, you can always use the old standby: a soup can in each hand. Just keep in mind that dumbbells are easier to hold and you can get more out of using them, as even 5-pound weights are heavier than your heaviest canned goods. 1.lie with your upper and middle back on a bench or ball, with your legs at a 90-degree angle. Hold a weight in each hand and extend your arms to the sky, elbows slightly bent. 2.as you inhale, lower your arms out wide, until your elbows are at shoulder height. 3.as you exhale, raise your hands until they meet above your chest again. 4.do 2 sets of 10.
