The single arm floor press is a great exercise to combine a shoulder and chest workout along with your core. Using kettlebells for the exercise provide the unique challenge as well as performing them on the floor. This is a great chest exercise for those with shoulder issues. Since you are only going as low as the floor rather than below as in normal benching, it takes a lot of strain off the rotator cuff. Your core will also receive some attention in order to keep the kettlebell up. Use this exercise if you're looking for a little chest work with your kettlebell workouts

Purpose/Focus: Strength Body Parts Used: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Core Difficulty: Easy
