Standing Elbow Lift Pulse

Target and tone your chest with this quick, no-equipment pulse exercise! Feel the burn with every rep.

Instructions

Standing Pulsing Elbow Lift (Chest)

Starting Position:

  1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. Bring your elbows to shoulder height, keeping your arms bent at a 90-degree angle. Your hands should be near your chest, palms facing forward.

  3. Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine.

Movement Instructions:

  1. From the starting position, gently lift your elbows slightly upwards while keeping them bent. Focus on using your chest and shoulder muscles.

  2. Pulse upward in small increments for a count of 2-3 seconds, keeping your elbows raised.

  3. Slowly return to the starting position over the same count of 2-3 seconds.

  4. Repeat this pulsing motion for 10-15 reps, focusing on controlled movements.

  5. Maintain a steady breath throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lift and exhaling as you lower.

Tips:

  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears to avoid tension.

  • Ensure your wrists remain neutral; no bending at the wrists should occur.

  • Modify the height of your elbow lift for comfort and ensure you're working within your range of motion.
