Incline Dumbbell Press
An incline dumbbell press is basically pressing dumbbells from the chest by extending the arms up, while sitting at a 30 to 45 incline. This exercise targets the chest, shoulders and triceps and tones the upper chest muscles. Practising this exercise will help increase the strength and size of the upper body.
Squats
The squat is a great exercise for your joints and muscles. It helps build strength in the upper and lower body. When performed correctly, this workout helps burn calories, prevent injuries, strengthen the core and improve posture and overall balance.
Bench squats or chair squats are also effective, as they can help improve body strength, balance and mobility, while also reducing the risk of falls.
