chest exerises

[zet11]

What are some good strength training routines to get rid of a saggy chest? ( on a 42 yr old female trying to lose 80 lbs and tone up too)

what is your current routine and diet? How much experience do you have with what forms of excercise?

cheers

diet totally stinks. I need to work on that. I have been going to the gym for about 3 or 4 months now. I do intervals on the treadmill for 20 minutes 4 days a week. 3 minutes at 2.3 mph, 2 minutes at 2.7 mph at 3.5 incline alternating the whole 20 minutes. I use the Hammer Strength Machines.

strength training routine, not necessarily in this order is as follows.

leg extensions 45lbs 2/10
kneeling leg curls 20lbs 2/10
abdominal crunches 20lbs x 20
Iso-Lateral Triceps Extension 65lbs 2/10
chest press 30lbs 2/10

Iso-Lateral Biceps Curl 40lbs 2/10
Iso-Lateral Incline Press 20lbs 2/10

Iso-Lateral High Row 30lbs 2/10

Iso-Lateral Row 40lbs 2/10
Iso-Lateral Shoulder Press 20lbs 2/10
back extension 55 lbs 3/10

Pushups have been mentioned, and are probably the best (or bench presses if you have the equipment).

A boxing speed bag give a good upper body cardiovascular workout and works the shoulders too. It can be very noisy and you should consider that if you plan on using a speed bag.
