I only have Kettle bells - 4 of them different weights. Are there any modifications I could do with just one Kettlebell? Thanks!

Hey Noelle, thanks for writing in and great question! You can actually use a singular KB for any of these movements. You may need to use a lighter variety but just be sure to keep your core nice and tight. These are not only a great pec/shoulder/tricep workout but a great ab blaster if using one as well. Best of luck! -The FMP Team

Could you do these if you don’t have the bench?

You need something elevated to lie down on. The most important aspect is being able to really stretch your chest muscles at the bottom of the lift, which requires you to be able to extend your elbows behind your back. Being on the floor is not great for this reason. It also should be low enough for you to plant your feet on to help stabilize your body as you're pushing the weight.

Hi, I just turned 58 in Aug. I eat organic, cut out the processed foods sugar, etc. What should I eat b4 doing this wkout

[@rm06c]

Some kind of carb is a good idea to provide fuel while doing a workout. Make sure you get your protein in as well since protein helps build muscle and keeps you full for longer. As for timing, maybe not a good idea to eat right before doing these exercises as you might upset your stomach. This is highly individual though, so try and see what works for you.

I would love to see safe exercises for menopausal women with osteoporosis. I’m 64, just got diagnosed, and am terrified of moving because I have no clue what exercises would be beneficial and not make my condition worse. I can’t afford going to the gym. Would you kindly help? I love your channel.

I’m post-menopausal and have been for 15 years. Please don’t fear movement! If just starting out, use only your body weight for squats and lunges and hold onto the wall, a chair, or broom stick, to aid with your balance. All other exercises, just start off with low weights that YOU can comfortably lift. I’ve been exercising continuously. The only times I’ve “ made things worse” is by not working out and/or using too heavy of a weight before gaining adequate strength. Follow all of his videos and modify by using light weights until you build up strength. Keep moving or your body will deteriorate.

I wouldn't recommend doing the single arm version of these presses. You'll be very tired at the end of it. Better to just press with both arms and activate both sides of your pecs. Also, instability exercises do not help with building muscle. In fact, it makes it harder. And almost no one just starting to lift weights should be worried about asymmetrical muscles. Lastly, if you want to work on your glutes, then do a glute based lift (lunges, hip thrusts, etc.) don't try to combine it with a chest press. Otherwise, good advice.
