Tutorial

  1. 1
    Put your palms together and stand shoulder-width apart.
  2. 2
    Bring your arms up in front of your body so that your hands are level with your chest. Arms are almost fully extended and parallel to the floor. Apply pressure to each other with the palms of your hands.
  3. 3
    Bring your hands horizontally to your chest and bend your elbows. Breathe in as you do so.
  4. 4
    Bring your hands forward horizontally until your arms are almost fully extended again. Breathe out as you do so
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Make sure that you keep your chest slightly out and your shoulders slightly back throughout the exercise. This will help you engage your chest muscles better. Try to perform the movement smoothly and in a controlled manner. Your hands should only move horizontally. Maintain pressure on your hands during the exercise.
TIP: You can wedge a book or weight plate between your palms to make the exercise harder.
