Chest Exercise: Pec Dec Simulation

Location:  Chest or Pectoral muscles


Exercise:   Pec Dec Simulation


Inventory: Sitting tall (Indian style) in front of the mirror, pull stomach in and raise arms to shoulder length with arms bent at elbows (as if you are going to show off your biceps muscles). Upper arms should be parallel with the floor.


Movement: Bring your forearms together (or almost together) in front of your face- slightly leading with your elbows. Your whole upper body should contract and squeeze when your elbows come together. Then open them and return back to the starting position. Repeat for as long as you can.


Proper Form:                

  • Mentally concentrate on the muscles being worked

  • Keep your shoulders down and relaxed

  • Contract the muscles in upper body while doing this exercise

  • Breathe out as you close your arms and squeeze. Breathe in when you open your arms

  • Have fun- Go to the beat of fun music but still get the most out of each one
