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.
Incline Push-Up Depth Jump
For this drill you will need a box about 12 inches high, and two thick mats or aerobics steps.
Place the steps just outside of your shoulders, and place your feet on top of the box so that you are in an incline pushup position, your hands just inside the steps. This will be your starting position.
Begin by bending at the elbows to lower your body, quickly reversing position to push your body off of the ground. As you leave the ground, move your hands onto the steps, bending your elbows to absorb the impact.
Repeat the motion to return to the starting position.
Verdict
Both exercises target the chest. Alternating Floor Press is a beginner exercise using kettlebells, while Incline Push-Up Depth Jump is beginner and uses other. Choose Alternating Floor Press if you have access to kettlebells, or Incline Push-Up Depth Jump if you prefer other.
