In this clip we are going to do a chest press with a suspension trainer. You want to get your angle, remember if your feet are closer to the base it is going to be more of a challenge and if they are further away it is going to be a little bit easier We are going to go somewhere in the middle. You are going to start with your arms extended and you are going lean into almost a semi-pushup position keeping the back nice and long and flat and bring your arms apart and take them back together. You are going to open up the chest and then press forward. Now make sure that your handles are nice and stable and that the arms of your suspension trainer are even so you don't put more stress on one shoulder than the other. So you're going to open and press forward. You will also feel this in the shoulders as well because you are unsupported as you are leaning into this chest press position. Bring your arms back and push forward. Try to keep your back nice and flat, open up the chest, and press forward.
