This exercise will target the pectorals major and this is a side lying push up. Place your hands on the center of the gliders, pull your shoulder blades back and down and just allow the hands to separate and then push through the gliders as you pull together so the action is really coming from here to here to contract the pecs. So it is here and push and pull down to the glider. It is important that you keep your head in line with the spine and don't drop it down. I can also take this on various angles to target the muscle group a little bit differently and if I were real strong I could do this either on both knees or in a full push up position. But that is just something you need to work up to. Again I am pushing and the resistance, you have to push down on that glider, you are just not letting that glide slide on the floor you are really working and pushing down through the gliders and that is our side lying push up position.
