One of the basic and obvious ways of losing weight and building muscles is exercising. Exercising helps us in burning more calories, thus enabling us to lose weight in the process. It is also important to note that not all exercises are meant for losing weight and building muscle. There are certain exercises that are meant for building and strengthening muscles. There are some that are meant only for losing weight.

What exercise would best suite us then? Well it really depends on what your goal is and what part of the body you want to work on. Do you want to work on your chest muscles, your abs, triceps, biceps, and so on.

Whatever muscle in your body that you want to work on, exercising will be one of the key factors to get it done. Here’s a list of the 5 best exercises that will work your chest muscles.

1. Flat Bench Press – The flat bench press is one of the most known chest exercise. It is also one of the best because it works not only the muscles in your chest but also your biceps and shoulder muscles.
2. Incline Bench Press Exercise – The incline bench press is a good chest exercise because it targets the chest muscles in a different angle. It then recruits more chest muscle fibers allowing you to effectively strengthen the muscles in your chest.
3. Flat Bench Dumbbell Press – The flat bench dumbbell press is an effective chest exercise that helps build over-all mass and stimulates the entire chest muscle. Using two dumbbells also forces the body to use more stabilizer and assistor muscles.
4. Incline Dumbbell Press – The incline dumbbell press is also an effective exercise for the chest. This exercise helps shift the focus of the angle in which your chest is being worked on thus enabling your chest to be fully worked on.
5. Dips – Dips is an exercise used for strength training. It is an effective chest exercise that also works on the triceps and shoulders.

These are considered the five best exercises for working the chest muscles. These five exercises won’t necessarily help you lose weight, but it will help you build and strengthen your chest muscles.

So it’s important to have a goal when exercising. Is your goal to lose weight, build muscle or both? This is a question that you must yourself ask first before you choose what exercise you want to do.
