Although reducing chest fat could be challenging, with a dedicated diet plan and exercise regimen, it can be dealt with. Here are five exercises to help you get rid of chest fat.
Dumbbell Pullover
To perform dumbbell pullover, lie flat on your back on a flat bench. Hold a dumbbell above your chest, with your elbows slightly bent. Then, slowly lower the dumbbell back over your head. Make sure to do this slowly so that you feel the stretch. Aim for 3 sets with 10-12 repetitions in each set. Perform this exercise three times a week.
Incline Bench Dumbbell Press Workout
Position yourself on an incline bench. Hold two medium-weight dumbbells. Next, push the dumbbells upward in a sudden motion so that you feel the pressure in your upper chest. Bring them down slowly. Aim for 3 sets initially with 10-12 repetitions in each set. Perform this exercise three times every week.
Incline Barbell Bench Press
Position yourself in an incline bench. Hold a barbell, and press it upward in an explosive motion so that you feel the pressure in your upper chest. Then bring it down.
