One trainer has created an intense chest workout that will also target your core making it a must add to your exercise routine.
There is nothing more unmotivating than doing the same old workout routine week after week. Chest workouts often fall into this pattern, as there are only so many exercises you can do to work those muscles.
Men's Health Fitness Director Ebenezer Samuel has created a new chest workout that will get you out of the dull routine funk. Plus, it also works your core, and that means you are targeting two parts of your body. Therefore the results should come quicker.

Along with dumbbells, you will need an adjustable bench and a cable machine. It is unlikely most people have these pieces of equipment in their homes, making this more of a gym workout. Though, if you have a great at-home gym, then you are good to go as well.
Here is how you do the Chest to Core Change-Up:
Dumbbell Chest Press – Do four sets with 10-12 reps in each set. Heavyweights are suggested to get the most out of this move.
Mixed Style Incline Press – Do four sets with 6-8 sequences. You will need an incline bench for this move. The series goes, perform one chest press with both arms, then press the right arm, and then press the left arm.
Eccentric Focus Hollow Body Floor Press – Lay on the floor holding a pair of dumbbells. Then lift both your legs and shoulder blades off the ground. Press both arms up. Then slowly lower the right arm to the floor and back up. Do the same with the left side. Repeat moves for 30 seconds for the first set, 40 seconds for the second set and 50 seconds for the third set.
Kneeling Cable Flies – Kneel on the ground between the two cables and pull them to the front of you while squeezing your chest. Hold for three to four seconds then release and repeat. First round is 30 seconds, the second round is 40 seconds, and the final round is 50 seconds.
