    • Sit upright on the chair with your feet flat on the floor and your knees hip-width apart.

  2. Positioning:

    • Ensure your back is straight and your shoulders are relaxed.

  3. Movement:

    • Press your palms together firmly, engaging your chest muscles.

    • Hold this position for a count of 5, maintaining the pressure between your palms.

  4. Release:

    • Slowly relax your hands back to the starting position while keeping your back straight.

  5. Repetition:

    • Repeat this exercise for 8 to 12 repetitions.

    • Focus on breathing steadily throughout the movement, inhaling deeply when you press your palms and exhaling as you relax.

  6. Tips:

    • Keep your core engaged to maintain good posture.

    • If needed, adjust the position of your hands to find a comfortable level of intensity for your chest.
