Chest exercises refer to a group of strength training movements that target and work out the muscles in your chest, including the pectoralis major (the large muscle on top of your chest) and the anterior deltoid (the muscle at the front of your shoulder). These types of exercise are designed to help build upper body strength, improve posture, and enhance overall physical appearance. Common examples of chest exercises include bench press, push-ups, dumbbell flys, and seated cable press among others.
