This lesson is part of the series: At Home Workouts - Upper Body, At Home Workouts - Full Body

Define and sculpt your inner chest muscles to get that bigger chest you've always wanted! In this video, Derek shows how to workout the inner chest muscles and the interior delts by doing the chest fly. Build chest muscle fast, tone your upper body and do it all from the comfort of your own home!

In this video lesson, Derek teaches how to use the resistance bands to isolate and workout your chest muscle groups. Derek demonstrates the first rep by stepping onto the band and keeping his feet together. Once in the correct starting position Derek teaches the best practices of the chest fly, i.e. how to maintain focus in the chest, squeeze the stabilizing muscles, and follow-up with your breathing. Slow movements, steady breathing and holding the position at the top of the rep are key elements to getting the bodybuilding or toning results you want.

If this routine is too hard as a beginner, Derek suggests switching from two arms to a one-armed position. He recommends doing 2 to 3 sets of 15 repetitions, or 3 to 4 sets of 15 repetitions if you are more advanced. Don't forget to finish with a simple 15-second stretch. This exercise is especially good weight training for tennis as it can also help tennis players to improve their forehand swing. Watch and learn the proper technique to working out the muscles in the inner chest.

As a personal lifestyle fitness guru and trainer, I have had the good fortune to work with some of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities (John McEnroe, Demi Moore, Maria Shriver, Tatum O’Neil, and Michael J. Fox) and most recently, I got the opportunity to serve as both host and executive producer of Urban Fitness TV on the Fit TV channel. After working with an extensive list of high performance athletes, high fashion models and actors who have little time to work out, but still have to look as if they live at the gym, I created the ‘focus touch’ visualization technique that can boost the effectiveness of any exercise. This technique is part of the Body Noble Method, which is a safe,...
