We all want to be buff. Who wouldn’t want to be ripped? Desire to be toned? As an Orange County Personal Trainer, I know you want to look better, feel healthier and more confident, and live longer you have to stay in shape. Theres no doubt about it. Sedentary life increases the risk of cholesterol, which leads to high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease among many other things. Stop this tumbling snowball as soon as possible. It isn’t as hard to get in shape as one might think. With these six exercises you’ll be well on your way to a better, healthier you!
Now the first thing to understand is that form is everything. When you do an exercise in a wrong way, you can injure yourself and hinder results. So be sure to follow these exercises exactly. Whether you are looking to get huge, or just to become a bit more toned, these exercises can be tuned to your fitness level. For that bodybuilder look, use heavier weights with fewer repetitions. For the toned look, use light weights with more repetitions.
The Bench Press: This of the staple of working your chest. Grab some dumbbells and lay down on a bench. With dumbbells in hand, start with your arms slightly lower than parallel to the ground. Slowly start pushing the dumbbells toward the ceiling, maintaining complete control throughout the motion. Push them up until they meet. At this point you should be making a triangle at the top of your push, the apex being consistent with the center of your body. To get you back to where you started, follow the same path, but backwards.
The inclined Bench Press: This exercise resembles the normal bench press. Lay on an inclined bench which is inclined towards the ceiling. You must use a hammer grip, which means your palms face each other was you grip the dumbbells. Grab your dumbbells and again push them up towards the ceiling in a slow and controlled fashion. Be sure not to push the weights perpendicularly to your body as that can cause injury. Flys on a Declined Bench: Lay on a declined bench. This time you start with the dumbbells at the top of the rotation. Have the dumbbells directly above you with your arms straight. Again, you will be using the hammer grip. Take the dumbbells and begin to lower them in a semicircular fashion towards the ground.
Try to keep your arms straight with a slight bend in your elbow. This is to ensure that no elbow injury will occur. Lower the dumbbells as described to the floor until they are parallel to the floor. Then bring them back up. Be sure to keep your entire body stable, except for your arms.
Seated Tricep Press: This exercise focuses on your triceps, the muscles that extend your arm. Sit on a bench with your back straight and your feet firmly on the ground. Grab one end of the dumbbell with both hands and bring it behind your head.
As you keep your elbows stationary, slowly lower the weight until you feel your triceps stretching. Then begin to raise the dumbbell higher than you started. Try to raise the weight until the bottom end of the dumbbell reaches the level of the top of your head. Be sure to keep the weight behind your head at all times.
Tricep Extension: Lay flat on a bench with dumbbells in both hands. Straighten your hands out in front of you as you did with the dumbbell Flyes. Proceed to lower the weight towards your head by only bending your elbows. Bring it back up to full extension and repeat.
Tricep Kickback: This exercise is done only with one arm at a time. To train the right hand, stand to the left of a bench and place your right knee on the bench. Leave your left leg straight and place it firmly on the ground. Make sure your back is straight. Grab the dumbbell with your right hand and bring it half way between your body and the bench, keeping your elbow bent.
Your upper arm should be parallel to your body and your forearm perpendicular to your body. Straighten your arm at the elbow, making your forearm parallel to your body. Then proceed to slowly return to the starting position.
These exercises are for your chest and triceps. Be sure to look at our many other sections to help you work out the rest of your body and stay healthy.

Im trying to get a sexier body and want great abs and chest.
what is the best workouts for home? Thanks for answering:) it really helps
Abs: Situps. Planks. Or a techinique which I use when you lie on your back with your hands behind your head. Just raise your head and shoulders and breathe out as you do so. Try and really crunch up your abs when you do this. Start doing it faster and you will feel the burn.
Chest: I just do press-ups but I dont count. I just keep going until I physically can’t do any more press ups. To easy? Have a younger sibling sit on your back or fill a back pack with heavy things and try.
Btw: I find it better to do all the exercises until your to tired rather than do set amounts and not feeling the burn. Remember the muscle burn is what your after.

The perfect push-up is a piece of equipment which any gym could have and a piece of equipment which any gym could live without.
It is definitely easier on the wrists than push-ups on the floor but it really does little to superiorly work your chest during push-ups.
Remember to keep your core tight and don’t let your hips sag towards the floor.
The correct way to perform is to externally rotate your palms as you lower your chest towards the floor.
To get the full benefit out of push-ups perform through full range of motion without snapping your elbows at the top.
If you want the perfect push-up you can get it here

The Art of Multifunctional Training People often complain about
how they just do not have enough time to spend working out in a
gym. It seems every year the lives of many Americans become more
hectic and they have less time to devote to bettering their
health. As a certified personal trainer I often hear people
stating that they just have to spend too much time working out
to get the results they desire. They tell me how they have to
rush to the gym before or after working out, in some cases
change into workout clothes or work clothes, then they have to
workout, shower and then rush to work or home to tend to their
families. Working out can defiantly be a time consuming process.
However it does not have to be. When a prospective client
approaches me and asks how I can help them get a great workout
with results, but without the time commitment; I just smile and
introduce them to Multifunctional Training. Multifunctional
Training, which also consists of many core training components,
is the concept of working multiple muscle groups in a single
exercise. Multifunctional Training is a great way to work
multiple groups, which allows for a shorter workout time,
because time is no longer spent working one muscle group at a
time. While, single muscle isolation is great for body builders
or those who are trying to build or shape a particular muscle
most people do not need to spend time isolating a muscle with
multiple exercises. With Multifunctional Training you can hit
multiple muscle groups in a just a few exercises.
Multifunctional Training is also a great way to build balance
and coordination, an especially important aspect of training for
athletes. Athletes can gain explosiveness using multifunctional
training, increasing the weight as they become more comfortable.
Many multifunctional exercises replicate the movements used in a
game by many sports. Equipment such as the bosu, stability ball,
balance bar, dumbbells, and medicine balls can all be used
during multifunctional training. Because a person is performing
exercises that target more than one muscle, the core area
(abdominal and lower back muscles) are often engaged as well,
during multifunctional training. If a person adds an unstable
surface such as a bosu, stability ball or foam roller,
stabilizer muscles are also engaged which replicates performance
in sports by athletes.
An example of a multifunctional workout would be dumbbell flies
performed on a stability ball with a crunch motion. In this
exercise the chest and deltoid muscles are engaged with the
dumbbell flies, as well as the abdominal muscles when performing
the crunch. Another example is a squat with an over head press
using a medicine ball or dumbbells. Holding the chosen weight
close to the chest a squat is performed, then at the top of the
motion and overhead is done using the selected weight. This
exercise will work all the major leg muscles, the core, as well
as the anterior deltoids.
With Multifunctional Training a strength training workout time
of normally one to one and a half hour can be reduced to about
forty five to thirty minutes. If you wish to learn how to
transform your workout into a more effective fat burning and
muscle training process with out the time consumption, let a
professional help design you a program you can do on your own.

Bench Press is probably the best chest exercise ever. In case you train in gym or have personal bench – bench press chest exercise should be the base exercise for your chest workout.
The other feature of that exercise is that it will force your organism to produce natural testosterone which will speed up ALL your muscles’ growth.
Note: we recommend to have training partner or gym trainer near when performing bench presses with heavy weights.
You can find more fitness and weight chest exercises videos with the professional animations and detailed instructions at http://www.passion4profession.net/chest-exercises/ . You can find both gym chest exercises which require equipment like bench, dumbbells or barbell and home chest exercises with no equipment needed.

I seem to be doing workouts that work the outer portion of my chest (near the armpits) but was curious if there is a specific exercise that would work out the inner portion of my chest (near the sternum). Thanks!
I do two exercises (both with my back on an exercise ball)…standard shoulder wide bench press with free weights and then flies (palms facing each other) throughout the entire fly exercise? good? bad? could be doing better?
bench press and close grip bench. when you are doing bench press the wider you have your hands apart the further to the outside of your chest you are working. move your hands in. if you do close grip with your hands about 2inches apart that will work your triceps, but it will also work the very inside middle of your chest.
