After perusing about eight months of Healthful Bites archived videos, I just discovered another shocker: we have yet to dedicate one video solely to the chest muscles! Our poor pectorals :) 

You probably know that a bench press or push up will strengthen your chest, but I have some variations of more common exercises to perk things up. In this video, you will focus on your left and right pec muscles separately. This is a great way to challenge each side of your body at its own level—since the halves of the body may have uneven strength levels. (Of course, by doing these separately, the goal is to eventually balance out the left and right sides). 

For this workout, you will need one medium to medium-heavy pair of dumbbells and an elevated surface such as a step bench, a small stair, a street curb, a large book or “The September Issue.” ;) (a great movie by the way)!

These are a few of my favorite chest workouts so that I don’t have to do dozens of straight push ups everyday. Do you have any fun ways to make strength routines more exciting?
