Flat Dumbbell Flyes

(1) Begin by firmly grasping the dumbbells with the palms facing in.

(2) Lower the weight, slightly bending the elbows, until your hands are at the level of your chest.

(3) Raise the weight back to the starting position, slightly straightening the arms.

Posture's important; keep your feet firmly planted on the floor and limit excessive arching of your torso. To prevent injury, it's important to not to abruptly lower the weight or move too far down - by doing this, excessive stress is placed on the shoulder joint. Remember to breathe out as your raise the weight, and in as you lower the weight.
