#3 Tap Pushup

The last type of pushup in the exercises for a stronger chest is a tap pushup. The difference between a normal pushup and a tap pushup is not much, however, this difference is what will help in building that strong chest. A tap pushup is when you are in the position of a normal pushup with your body parallel to the floor, palms on the ground, core and back absolutely straight. Instead of dipping into a pushup, you tap your shoulder with one hand and then bring that arm back to the original position and dip into a pushup. And then repeat the same for the other side.

Now for a change to asanas for stronger chest muscles.

#5 Dhanurasana

Dhanurasana is when you are lying on your abdomen, you raise your chest and then with your hands grab your ankles. You are almost in a reverse boat position. Hold this position for as long as possible (start with a minute). Not only does this asana work out your chest but it also works out for abdomen area and is great for your back too!

#5 Chakrasana

This last asana is fairly difficult on the difficulty level but is great for building a strong chest along with your core. You lie down flat on your back. Bend your knees and then place your palms behind you. As you do, try and lift your hip and back off the ground and face upside down. This exercise is great for your chest as it opens up the chest and increases the lung capacity, thereby helping in more oxygen being circulated in the body.
