5 Best Chest Exercises You Can Do At Home

#4 Push Up Hold

The push-up hold is an isometric (hold) type of exercise that will help you to improve your chest strength and will also help to work on your core, shoulders, and arms. The exercise has a mental aspect to it as well because you need to hold on to the position for as long as you can.

Instructions

Step 1: You need to position yourself in a plank position by placing your hands beneath your shoulders and extend your elbows.

Step 2: Now lower your chest to the floor by bending your elbows and hold for 30-60 seconds.

Step 3: Come back to the starting position after you hold yourself as long as you can.

Important Tips: Do 5 sets of 30-60 seconds each. If you can hold yourself as long as you can then the exercise productivity will enhance. Avoid lowering your hips while in the hold position.
