Dumbbell Fly

Stretch and contract your chest muscles using dumbbells.

The dumbbell fly is a focused isolation exercise that targets the pectoralis major, improving chest definition, size, and strength.

How to do:

1. Lie on a flat or incline bench with dumbbells in each hand. 2. Start with your arms extended above your chest, palms facing each other. 3. Slowly lower the dumbbells in a wide arc until in line with your chest. 4. Bring the dumbbells back up in the same arc motion to the starting position. 5. Repeat for 10–12 reps per set. 6. Perform 3-4 sets total.

Tips:

- Keep a slight bend in your elbows to protect your joints. - Avoid lowering the dumbbells too far to prevent shoulder strain. - Focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you bring the dumbbells up. - Maintain a slow and controlled motion for maximum effectiveness.
