5 Roaring Bodyweight Workouts For Chest

#2 Star Plank

The star plank is an intermediate-level exercise that targets the pectoral muscles with unrivalled accuracy. Additionally, the exercise also activates the core and the deltoids.

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on the floor in a prone position with your feet placed close to each other. Transition yourself into a regular plank position and ensure that the entire body is resting on the palms and the toes.

Step 2: With a stationary torso, move the arms and the feet away from each other until the entire body forms an ‘X-shape.’

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Do not rush through the exercise and follow a smooth, controlled motion to avoid injury.
