The Dumbbell Chest Fly is a strength-building exercise targeting chest and shoulder muscles. It involves a wide arc motion with dumbbells, emulating a bird's wing flap. It enhances stability, balance and defines your chest and shoulders.
Start by sitting on a flat bench, holding two dumbbells, supporting their weight with your thighs.
2
Raise your legs slightly off the floor and slowly lie back on the bench.
3
With the dumbbells still in your hands, extend your arms fully in a spread like a bird with wings.
4
Slowly and in a controlled manner bend your elbows slightly and lower the dumbbells to your sides until you feel a stretch in your chest.
5
Pause briefly at the bottom, then squeeze your chest muscles together to raise the weights up to the start position. Repeat this for your desired number of reps.
