It is everyone’s dream to have a shapely and strong upper body. When it comes to toning the chest, shoulders and arms, the first thing recommended is to do pushups. But the reality is that it is very challenging for beginners or overweight people to do a perfect pushup. Many people are unable to do even a single pushup due to weak core and wrist pain and get frustrated and stop working out. If the same happens with you too, then there is no need to worry. Fitness and health experts believe that by including some very easy exercises in your daily routine that can be an alternative to pushups, you can tone your muscles and increase the strength of the upper body manifold.
Wall Pushups: Best way to tone chest without putting pressure on knees and wrists If you are not able to do pushups on the floor, then ‘Wall Pushups’ is the best and safe start for you. To do this, instead of lying directly on the floor, you have to stand at a distance of about two feet from the wall and do pushups by placing both your hands on the wall. This exercise has a direct effect on your chest muscles (pectoral muscles) and triceps. Due to less inclination of the weight on the wall, there is no extra pressure on your wrists and lower back. By doing 3 sets of this daily, the strength of your upper body starts increasing gradually, due to which it becomes very easy for you to do normal pushups in future.
Incline Pushups: Give shape to your arms with the help of bench or sofa. After mastering wall pushups, you can take the next step towards ‘Incline Pushups’. To do this workout, you have to take the support of a strong bench, edge of bed or sofa. Keeping your hands on the bench and feet on the floor and moving your body down and up, it gives an excellent workout to the muscles of your lower chest and arms. This is much easier than traditional pushups because the entire weight of your body does not come on the hands. This exercise proves to be very helpful in improving body posture and tightening the loose skin of the arms.
Dumbbell Chest Press: Build a strong chest while lying down without any fear ‘Dumbbell Chest Press’ is a classic and very reliable exercise to strengthen the upper body. For this, you have to spread a mat on a flat bench or ground and lie straight on your back. After this, you have to take dumbbells in both your hands and move them upwards and downwards as per your capacity. The biggest advantage of this workout is that you do not have to worry about lifting your body weight, due to which the risk of injury is negligible. It directly targets your chest muscles and works to give them a perfect and attractive shape.
Triceps Dips: Melt that extra fat behind your arms like butter Triceps muscles play a major role in making the arms look muscular and toned. ‘Triceps Dips’ is an excellent bodyweight exercise to tone the chest as well as the arms.
