The Dumbbell Fly exercise is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the chest muscles. It is a great exercise for developing upper body strength and muscle definition.
How to perform
To perform a Dumbbell Fly, follow these steps:1. Lie down on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Your feet should be firmly planted on the ground and your back should be flat against the bench.
2. Hold the dumbbells above your chest with your arms extended and palms facing each other.
3. Slowly lower the dumbbells out to the sides in a wide arc until your arms are parallel to the ground. Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
4. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then reverse the motion and bring the dumbbells back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
It's important to use controlled movements and avoid swinging the dumbbells or arching your back during the exercise to prevent injury. Start with a light weight to focus on proper form and gradually increase the weight as you become stronger.
