Instructions
Alternating Floor Press
Lie on the floor with two kettlebells next to your shoulders.
Position one in place on your chest and then the other, gripping the kettlebells on the handle with the palms facing forward.
Extend both arms, so that the kettlebells are being held above your chest. Lower one kettlebell, bringing it to your chest and turn the wrist in the direction of the locked out kettlebell.
Raise the kettlebell and repeat on the opposite side.
Chest Push with Run Release
Begin in an athletic stance with the knees bent, hips back, and back flat. Hold the medicine ball near your legs. This will be your starting position.
While taking your first step draw the medicine ball into your chest.
As you take the second step, explosively push the ball forward, immediately sprinting for 10 yards after the release. If you are really fast, you can catch your own pass!
Verdict
Both exercises target the chest. Alternating Floor Press is a beginner exercise using kettlebells, while Chest Push with Run Release is beginner and uses medicine ball. Choose Alternating Floor Press if you have access to kettlebells, or Chest Push with Run Release if you prefer medicine ball.
