How to plan exercise to target the chest
Regularly exercise all muscle groups.
This includes:
Lower body muscles:(leg muscles, glute muscles, calf muscles)
Upper body muscles:(chest muscles, back muscles, arm muscles)
Core muscles :(Abdominal muscles)
Give your chest muscles at least 2 days/48 hours of rest between chest targeting exercises.
Muscles need time to recover
When we don't let our muscles recover properly we increase the changes of injury
When using resistance (weight/bands):
High repetitions (12 or more) with low weight.
Our goal is to lose fat, not build muscle
12 or more repetitions are ideal for fat loss
