Instructions
Start by lying on your back on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
Grab a weighted bottle with both hands and hold it above your chest with arms extended. Your palms should be facing each other, and you should grip the bottle on its sides.
Engage your core and keep your back flat against the floor throughout the exercise.
Inhale and slowly lower the bottle towards your chest by bending your elbows. Keep the movement controlled and ensure your elbows move directly out to your sides.
Lower the bottle until it is just above your chest, then pause for a moment.
Exhale and press the bottle back up to the starting position by extending your arms. Focus on using your chest muscles to push the weight up.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure you use a comfortable weight for the bottle that allows you to perform the exercise with good form. If you're new to exercise or have any underlying health conditions, consult with a fitness professional or healthcare provider before attempting new exercises. Always prioritize form over the amount of weight you're using to reduce the risk of injury.
