Instructions
Around The Worlds
Lay down on a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand with the palms of the hands facing towards the ceiling. Tip: Your arms should be parallel to the floor and next to your thighs. To avoid injury, make sure that you keep your elbows slightly bent. This will be your starting position.
Now move the dumbbells by creating a semi-circle as you displace them from the initial position to over the head. All of the movement should happen with the arms parallel to the floor at all times. Breathe in as you perform this portion of the movement.
Reverse the movement to return the weight to the starting position as you exhale.
Leg-Over Floor Press
Lie on the floor with one kettlebell in place on your chest, holding it by the handle. Extend leg on working side over leg on non-working side.Your free arm can be extended out to your side for support.
Press the kettlebll into a locked out position.
Lower the weight until the elbow touches the ground, keeping the kettlebell above the elbow. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Verdict
Both exercises target the chest. Around The Worlds is a intermediate exercise using dumbbell, while Leg-Over Floor Press is intermediate and uses kettlebells. Choose Around The Worlds if you have access to dumbbell, or Leg-Over Floor Press if you prefer kettlebells.
