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.
Isometric Wipers
Assume a push-up position, supporting your weight on your hands and toes while keeping your body straight. Your hands should be just outside of shoulder width. This will be your starting position.
Begin by shifting your body weight as far to one side as possible, allowing the elbow on that side to flex as you lower your body.
Reverse the motion by extending the flexed arm, pushing yourself up and then dropping to the other side.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Verdict
Both exercises target the chest. Alternating Floor Press is a beginner exercise using kettlebells, while Isometric Wipers is beginner and uses bodyweight. Choose Alternating Floor Press if you have access to kettlebells, or Isometric Wipers if you prefer bodyweight.
