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.
Dynamic Chest Stretch
Stand with your hands together, arms extended directly in front of you. This will be your starting position.
Keeping your arms straight, quickly move your arms back as far as possible and back in again, similar to an exaggerated clapping motion. Repeat 5-10 times, increasing speed as you do so.
Verdict
Both exercises target the chest. Alternating Floor Press is a beginner exercise using kettlebells, while Dynamic Chest Stretch is beginner and uses none. Choose Alternating Floor Press if you have access to kettlebells, or Dynamic Chest Stretch if you prefer none.
