WHY WOMEN SHOULD WORK THEIR CHEST

Most women don’t care about working their chest!  All we really want are nice arms, toned abs, and nice legs…am I right?  What woman wants to have manly pecs??

However, working your chest can give you better posture, and a more balanced upper-body strength.  If you do decide to neglect chest training while training your other upper body muscles, think about how imbalanced your upper body will be.  Having a weak chest can affect how you do your other exercises, and you may be more prone to injury.  Working the chest is also helpful in everyday movements – anything that involves pushing, i.e., pushing a door or a lawnmower.  Secondary benefits include toning of your shoulders and tricep muscles as well!

Added bonus for women:  Chest exercises can lift sagging breasts 🙂
