- Cobra pose
This exercise will work on your chest muscles. This is usually done as a warm-up at the start of chest exercises.
How to do it: Lie down on your stomach with your legs fully extended and the toes resting on the floor. Place your hands directly under your shoulders. Now, lift your head and chest off the ground. Keep your neck neutral and straighten your arms fully as much as you can. Hold the pose for at least 30 seconds and return to the start. Repeat this pose three times.
- Push-ups
Push-ups don’t just work on your triceps and shoulders, but also on your chest muscles. This exercise helps strengthen your chest muscles and increase their mass, which makes your whole chest look fuller.
How to do it: Your hands should be far outside the shoulder line while doing this chest exercise, unlike the normal push-ups. Try going down, keeping your neck straight, and raising up, taking most of the weight on your hands and shoulders. This will work out more of your chest muscle and give you a much firmer bust.
- Traveling plank
Planks benefit far more than just your core strength. Travelling plank is a great workout for your chest muscles and shoulders too.
How to do it: Begin in the plank position by facing down with your forearms and toes on the floor. Your elbows should be directly under your shoulders and your forearms should face forward. Keep your head relaxed and you should be looking at the floor.
Engage your abdominal muscles, drawing your navel toward your spine. Keep your torso straight and firm and your body in a straight line from ears to toes with no sagging or bending. This is the neutral spine position. Make sure your shoulders are down, not creeping up toward your ears. Now, lift your right hand and right foot off the ground and step afoot to the right. Try to hold for a second and move another foot to the right. Then return to the start stepping with your left hand and left foot. Do 10 steps to the right, and then switch sides. Complete three sets.
