Muscle of the month
Monthly workouts targeting specific muscles
Each month we’ll focus on a different muscle so you can learn how to train different areas of your body.
January Muscle of the Month: Pectorals
The Powerhouse of Your Upper Body!
Your pecs are made up of:
Pectoralis Major – The large fan-shaped muscle that powers your bench press, push-ups, and dips
Pectoralis Minor – A smaller but mighty muscle that supports your shoulder movement
Why Train Your Pecs?
– Improves upper body strength and endurance
– Supports everyday movements like pushing doors and carrying shopping
– Helps define and sculpt your chest for aesthetics
– Prevents shoulder injuries and improves posture
So next time you hit the gym, show your pecs some love with presses, fly’s, and dips!
Did you know
Your pectorals are involved in loads of daily movements, not just pushing weights in the gym!
Everyday Tasks That Use Your Pecs:
Pushing open a heavy door – Picking up a child or lifting a suitcase – Pushing yourself up from the floor after tying your shoes – Holding a plank or stabilising your arms while driving
Build a stronger chest
