Hello, I'm Kristie LaTray with Fit and Fabulous Training. Today, I'm going to show you exercises for obese women with dumbbells. Now whether you are obese or not, exercises for your chest are pretty much the same. We're working our pectoralis major. So some good exercises for this, I have two favorites, one is chest flies and the other is a chest press. So we're using dumbbells for both. We're going to start on the bench. Now for a chest fly, dumbbells in hand, you're going to raise the dumbbells right over your chest and then let your arms go outward, elbows are slightly bent, maintain control of your core and maintain control of your arms as you do this and when you bring the dumbbells back together, squeeze from your chest, from your core squeezing these dumbbells back together right over your chest and we repeat this. And now with chest press, with the chest press exercise, it's almost the same. We're on the bench, we have our dumbbells in hand, this time our elbows are bent and so from here we are going to press the dumbbells over our chest, straight up, elbows slightly bent and then bring them back down to the starting point. You want to make sure your elbows don't go behind you. You want to keep them right there in alignment so that your shoulders and elbows and everything is in alignment and pressing up and back down to your starting point. Now when we do these it's a good idea to do about start at ten reps and then you can work your way up to 20 reps or so and then you want to use a weight that's challenging to the point where you can do ten reps and do about I'd say three sets is a good place to aim, two to three sets is a good place to aim. If you can get three in, that's all the better. Thank you for watching exercises to tone an obese woman's chest. I'm Kristie LaTray, you can find me online at Fitandfabuloustraining.com.
