You may have heard the gym rats in your life talk about chest day. Strengthening your chest is incredibly important not only for aesthetic reasons but for functional ones as well.
The chest muscles are responsible for many different upper body movements: they help lift, lower, rotate, and move your arms in almost all directions. Any time you open a door, carry a heavy box, run your vacuum cleaner, or even breathe, your chest muscles are at work. The stronger they are, the easier it is to move around and the less susceptible you are to certain injuries.
