Around The Worlds vs Push-Up Wide

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.

With your hands wide apart, support your body on your toes and hands in a plank position. Your elbows should be extended and your body straight. Do not allow your hips to sag. This will be your starting position.

To begin, allow the elbows to flex, lowering your chest to the floor as you inhale.

Using your pectoral muscles, press your upper body back up to the starting position by extending the elbows. Exhale as you perform this step.

After pausing at the contracted position, repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
