Instructions
Seated Chest Press on a Chair
Positioning:
1. Sit on a sturdy chair with your feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart.
2. Keep your back straight and your chest up, engaging your core.
3. Position your arms at a 90-degree angle with your elbows bent and hands at chest level.
Movement:
1. Push your hands forward, straightening your arms until they are fully extended in front of you. Keep your elbows slightly bent to avoid locking them out.
2. Squeeze your chest muscles at the end of the movement.
3. Slowly bring your hands back to the starting position at your chest level.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions (usually 10-15 for beginners).
Tips:
- Keep your movements controlled and steady to avoid injury.
- Focus on using your chest muscles to do the work rather than relying on your shoulders or arms.
- Maintain a comfortable breathing rhythm—exhale as you press forward and inhale as you return to the start position.
