What kind of exercise should I do to tighten my chest?
Question:
Answers:
if you have a gym membership i would suggest pec flys. or cable flys..these exercises stretch the pec's(chest) alot...both are good for getting good definition or tone in the chest area..if you do not have a gym membership i would do wide stance pushups meaning your arms are a little farther than shoulder width apart on the ground allowing more of your chest to be worked than the traditional pushup..a good website to check out is expertvillage..they have personal trainers on this site that demonstrate how every move is done..much luck hope ive helped

to tighten your entire body, (including you chest and stomach) you need to do some cardio. start jogging at least 4 days a week, 2-3 miles a day. it should help you out.
Push ups will help, along with the simple bench press. Each of these will use your pectorial muscles.
If you have a gym membership or use of gym equipment, there is a pec. machine. You hold your arms out straight to your side, each bent in a 90 degree angle (hands up), and then pull the two machine bars inward and they will meet in the middle right in front of your little face.
I find the bench press to be the easiest. But remember to use light to medium weight, your not there to gain a ton of mass, just build it up a little at a time. and get rid of FLAB.
Peck Deck, Cable Cross, Dumbbell Bench Press, Decline Bench Press, Incline Bench Press.
First you have to lose the weight. Chest fat can be very hard to get rid of. Here’s what I do and it has been working for me. Obviously a workout needs to be tailored to the individual, but these exercises may help.
Dumbbell Incline Presses,
Pullovers and Presses,
Dumbbell Bench Presses,
Narrow-Grip Bench Presses,
Incline Dumbbell Flyes,
Barbell Incline Presses,
Push-Ups Between Benches,
Cable standing incline flyes
Cable standing decline flyes
My idea is to hit a variety of ranges and movements in order to work the muscle to the maximum. I tend to use a weight I can do for 10 reps and for 25 reps on the last two movements. Apart from this I do 20 minutes or Cardio every day and stretch before and after the workout, as well as frequently during. Stretching is very important to muscular growth because not only does it help prevent injury and alleviate recovery pain, but it also stretches out the fascia tissue that surrounds the muscle and inhibits its growth. When you are pumped and you stretch is when you get the best stretch of the fascia. Lastly rest and nutrition are every bit as important as the workout itself. Eating enough protein for the muscle to recover and grow as well as enough carbohydrates to replenish diminished glycogen stores in the muscles and liver is vital for repair and being ready for the next time you tax those muscles.
