Dumbbell Floor Fly: Tone it Up!

12 Mar Dumbbell Floor Fly: Tone it Up!

Posted at 11:59h in Exercise by

Do you know what a difference a toned chest can make in your appearance?

For men:
 
It drastically improves posture and body proportions. (There’s a reason why the bench press is so popular.)
 
For women:
 
It enhances the look of the upper chest. That area just below the collar bone that stays visible in many outfits.
 
So, no matter who you are, today’s exercise is one you’ll want to check out.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Starting Position: Lie down on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Hold your dumbbells together directly above your chest with your arms just shy of full extension. Your elbows should be slightly bent away for each other.

Step 1: Keeping your elbows in this same slightly-bent position, bring your arms out wide until your elbows are just above the floor. Pause for 1 second and feel that stretch through your pecs (chest).

Step 2: Squeeze your chest as bring the dumbbells back together above your chest, returning to the starting position.
