Chest exercise & fitness

Men and women alike know that chest exercises are essential for developing an attractive body.

Whereas men look to chest exercises primarily as a way to build muscle, women focus more on losing weight and toning, in order to enhance their appearance.

When many people think of chest exercises they think first of bench press - indeed, for many people who work out, that is the only exercise they do for this area. And while it is a fantastic choice, performing a variety of different movements will ultimately be far more effective.

Endlessly repeating the same routine - whether in the gym or outside - leads to boredom and burnout, and can be a major hindrance to your progress.

One way to increase the range of options that you utilize is to check out the great selection of books available. Titles for this area include:

• The Supple Workout: Chest and Shoulders (Supple Workout Series)
• Power Factor Specialization: Chest and Arms
• Essential Chest and Shoulders (Men's Health Peak Conditioning Guides)
• Superchest (Muscle Builders Body Parts)
