# Bodyweight Svend Press

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands pressed together close to your chest, elbows bent.

## How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands pressed together close to your chest, elbows bent.
2. Extend your arms straight out in front of you, keeping your hands pressed together.
3. Bring your hands back to your chest, bending your elbows to return to the starting position.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

## Form tips

- Maintain a firm press of your hands together to engage your chest muscles throughout the exercise.
- Keep your core engaged to maintain stability and balance.
