We hope that you are diligently following our home workout series, which we have created after giving a lot of thought keeping in mind that you don’t have to face any equipment or location barriers. That’s why we have kept it in a way where you have to just use your body weight and it can be performed within a limited space using your home area.
As in the previous blog, we listed the beginner level exercises for chest muscles, today we will be moving ahead to the high-intensity exercises that will help you in transforming your chest muscles to a notch higher!
Start with stretching your hands and legs, neck rotating exercises and jumping jacks. And, end your warm-up with 20 reps of arm circles. This will allow your nerves and muscles to open up and be prepared for intensified exercises ahead.
Stand with your feet and shoulder width apart, do a quick push-up and then jump up.
Start in the push-up position. Then go down for a push-up and as you come up, rotate your upper body and extend your right arm upwards. Repeat the exercise with the other arm. It’s a great exercise for the chest, shoulders, arms and core.
Start with your hands and feet touching the floor, body bent and butt up in an upside-down V shape. Then bend your elbows to bring your body towards the floor. When your body is close to the floor, raise your upper body up as far as possible. Then return to the original position and repeat.
Start in the regular push-up position, but with one hand in front of the other parallelly. Then do a push-up and switch the other hand in front. Remember to keep your body straight.
Start in the push-up position. Make a diamond shape with your hand under your chest by joining your forefingers and thumbs together. Then push your body up and down. Remember to keep your body straight.
Start with your knees under your butt and your hands directly under your shoulders. Bend your elbows and do a push-up. Return to the start position and repeat.
Start on all fours with your knees under your butt and your hands under your shoulders. Then elevate your feet on a chair or bed or any elevated platform at your home and push your body up and down mainly using your arm strength.
Start in the regular push-up position. When lowering your torso downward, bend and lift one leg to the side. Then return and switch to the other leg.
Lie down on your stomach and bend your elbows with your hands beneath your shoulders. Then push your chest up off the ground as far as possible. Hold this position for 30 seconds.
Although the gyms are opening-up keeping in check the safety standards, this routine is for those who are still hesitant in stepping out of their homes right now as they are surrounded by family members with vulnerable immune conditions and old age factors. Their concern is understandable and they should step out only when they feel comfortable about the situation outside and that is why we have come up with our home workout series. Have a happy workout!
