Your pectoralis major has several important actions. It helps you do practical things like sliding a door shut, pushing down the door to that machine that dries your swimsuit, and pushing yourself away from your desk when you're sitting in a rolling chair. Hence, we shouldn't forget it in our work out routines.
There are more ways to strengthen it than push ups and the bench press. You can do pec flys. This is one of my newest ways to do that while also working your abdominals.
2. Lift your legs up straight. While pressing your lower back into the floor making sure there is no space between you and floor, lower your legs down to the point where you're about to lose control.
3. Hold your weights to the side of you making a T.
4. Breathe in. Think about your chest muscles. Breathe out while squeezing your arms in above and in front of you. If you were to drop them they'd land on your face.
5. With control, bring your arms back to the T shape without touching the ground. Repeat 12 times for 2 sets.
In health,
Lauren
