If you don’t have much space in your home or apartment but want to get in a good chest workout the Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells (2009 Model) are the perfect piece of equipment to own. The only other equipment you will need is either a quality bench or a stability ball. When doing the Ball Chest Press, you lie down face up on a stability ball between the shoulder blades, resting your head on the ball, while keeping the shoulders, hips, and knees all in line. Next contract or squeeze your glutes and draw your belly button in as you hold a dumbbell in each hand at chest level, press the the dumbbells up and together extending the arms, lower and repeat.
Doing the Dumbbell Bench Press, lie down face up on the bench, knees bent at 90 degrees and feet on the floor, shoulder width apart and pointing straight ahead. Next draw your belly button in, while holding the dumbbells in each hand with an overhand grip and hands a little wider than shoulder width, press the weight up vertically extending the arms. Finally lower with control until you feel a slight stretch in the chest.
