Simple move tones chest muscles
Los Angeles Daily News
The Move: Isometric Chest Press
Works on: This simple but effective move helps tone the upper and middle chest muscles. Women in particular love the way it defines cleavage and promotes underlying muscle uplift.
Setup: Start by standing with your feet hipwidth apart.
Step 1: With bent elbows, clasp and press your hands together at mid-chest level. Contract or squeeze your chest muscles. Hold for five seconds and release.
Step 2: With upper arms parallel to floor and elbows bent, press your hands together at face level. Contract or squeeze your chest muscles. Hold for five seconds and release.
Fit tip: Do these exercises throughout the day. Many celebrities do the isometric chest press in their dressing rooms. Now the secret is out!
Repetitions: Repeat both steps three times. As you progress, work up to two or three sets.
