Push-Ups

 

Push-ups are a classic bodyweight exercise that targets the chest muscles, triceps, and shoulders. To perform a push-up, start in a plank position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Keep your back straight and your core engaged as you bend your elbows, lowering your chest until it almost touches the ground. Push through your hands to return to the starting position, fully extending your arms.

Incline Dumbbell Press

 

The incline dumbbell press targets the upper chest muscles, providing a sculpted look. Lie back on an inclined bench set at a 30-45 degree angle. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, position them at shoulder level with your palms facing forward. Push the dumbbells up until your arms are fully extended, then slowly lower them back to the starting position.

Chest Fly

 

The chest fly is excellent for isolating the chest muscles. Lie on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing each other. Keep a slight bend in your elbows as you open your arms wide, lowering the weights until you feel a stretch in your chest. Bring the weights back up to the starting position, focusing on using your chest muscles.

Burpees

 

Burpees are a full-body exercise that effectively burns fat, including chest fat. Start standing, then drop into a squat position and place your hands on the floor. Kick your feet back into a plank, do a push-up, and then jump your feet back to the squat position. Explosively jump into the air with your hands raised. Repeat for multiple repetitions.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

 

HIIT workouts, which include exercises like sprinting or fast-paced bodyweight exercises, are effective at burning calories and reducing body fat overall, including the chest area. Short bursts of intense activity are alternated with rest or low-intensity exercises.

Cable Crossover

 

The cable crossover exercise specifically targets the pectoral muscles. Stand in the center of a cable crossover machine with the pulleys positioned or slightly above shoulder height. Hold the handles with your arms open wide and step forward on one foot for balance. Pull the handles down and together in front of your body, squeezing your chest muscles, then slowly return to starting position.

Bench Press

 

The bench press is a staple exercise for building chest strength and muscle mass. Lie on a flat bench holding a barbell with a shoulder-width grip. Lower the bar to your chest while keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle, then press the bar back up until your arms are fully extended.

Mountain Climbers

 

Mountain climbers are a dynamic exercise that targets multiple muscles and helps in reducing fat, including chest fat. Start in a high plank position. Quickly drive your knees alternately towards your chest in a running motion, keeping your core engaged and your posture straight.

Swimming

 

Swimming is a low-impact, high-calorie-burning exercise that tones muscles throughout your body, including your chest. Swimming strokes like the freestyle and butterfly engage the pectoral muscles effectively while providing cardiovascular benefits.

Plyometric Push-Ups

 

Plyometric push-ups increase strength and explosiveness in the chest muscles. Begin in a push-up position; as you push up, explode with enough force for your hands to leave the ground. Clap your hands together or simply lift them and then return to the starting position. This exercise enhances muscle power and boosts calorie burn.

Premium Medication you can trust

Our weight loss medication is delivered straight to your doorstep from a state-licensed pharmacy within our reliable network, ensuring you receive your medication when you need it.

Each pharmacy in our network undergoes rigorous third-party testing through FDA and DEA certified labs. These tests focus on four key elements, ensuring both safety and efficacy for our treatments.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Chest Fat

 

Combine Push-Ups with Plyometric Push-Ups

 

  • Start with Standard Push-Ups to warm up and activate your chest muscles. Aim for a set of 10-15 repetitions.
  • Immediately transition into Plyometric Push-Ups for an added explosive effort. Perform 5-8 repetitions to increase muscle power and caloric burn.
  • This combination maximizes strength and explosiveness.

 

Incline Dumbbell Press paired with Chest Fly

 

  • Perform Incline Dumbbell Press for 8-12 repetitions to target the upper chest.
  • Follow this immediately with a set of Chest Fly on a flat bench for an additional 10-12 repetitions.
  • This pairing enhances upper and central chest development.

 

Burpees incorporated in HIIT Circuit

 

  • Include Burpees as a station in a HIIT workout. Perform them for 30 seconds, followed by a 15-second rest.
  • Combine with other high-intensity exercises like sprints or jumping jacks.
  • Repeating this sequence 4-5 times elevates heart rate for effective fat burning.

 

Cable Crossover and Bench Press

 

  • Execute a set of Cable Crossovers with 10-15 repetitions to isolate the chest.
  • Directly switch to the Bench Press for 6-10 repetitions to build strength and muscle mass.
  • The order facilitates isolation followed by compound movement for chest engagement.

 

Mountain Climbers as Part of Full-Body Routine with Swimming

 

  • Start with Mountain Climbers for 30 seconds to engage the core and raise heart rate.
  • Integrate Swimming sessions for overall body toning, focusing on strokes such as freestyle and butterfly for 5-10 minutes.
  • This combination offers cardiovascular benefits with targeted muscle engagement.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
