A CHEST OF DREAM IN 3 YEARS

 You have not finished your Christmas list and so much the better. So you can add a pair of dumbbells to sculpt a chest of dreams. Here are 3 exercises to tone and shape your chest .

Exercise 1: to tone your chest


Lie on your back, knees bent, feet on the ground.
Take your dumbbells and raise your arms towards the ceiling, in line shoulders. 
Lower your arms back above your head without touching the ground, then reassemble. 
Do 4 sets of 8 slow, fast then 4 sets of 8, minimum.

Continue with a variation: 
Same position, but instead of down your arms behind your head, get them on the sides. Bend elbows (your arms are fully extended but slightly bent at the elbow).
Play again 4 sets of 8 slow, fast then 4 sets of 8, minimum.

Exercise 2: To enhance your chest


Same starting position, lower your arms to the side, but this time by bending your elbows so your arms form a right angle. Repeat several sets of 8, slow and fast. 

Exercise  3: To improve your posture


No need dumbbells for this last year.
Lie on your stomach with arms along the body. 
Squeeze your glutes and your abs and lift your shoulders and chest to the ground. Hold for several seconds before releasing and start over.
