Training your pecs is a important part of growing and trimming your chest. Whether you are a workout enthusiast or coming up with your first training plan, the exercises below will help you meet your fitness goals.
resistance band seated chest press
1. Begin by sitting down on a chair or bench with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
2. Take your resistance band and loop it around the back of the chair or bench, ensuring it's secure and won't slip during the exercise.
3. Hold the ends of the resistance band in each hand. Your hands should be at chest level with your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle, and palms facing down.
4. Slowly push your hands forward, extending your arms fully. As you do this, you should feel the resistance band tighten and your chest muscles engage.
5. Hold this position for a moment, then slowly return your hands to the starting position, maintaining tension in the band.
6. Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions.
Remember to keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Also, ensure that the movement is controlled, focusing on the muscle contraction and not on the band's pull. This exercise primarily targets the pectoral muscles, but also works the shoulders and triceps.
