The Dumbbell Chest Fly is an effective isolation exercise that primarily targets the pectoral muscles (chest muscles) while also engaging the shoulders and triceps. It is commonly performed using dumbbells and is an excellent addition to any upper body workout routine.
Let's get started by moving forward in your chair and leaning back so you are at an angle. then grab a dumbbell and curl it up and push it up so it is hovering above your chest.
This is the starting position.
From here, with a slightly bent arm open the arm out to the side until it is level with the shoulders. don’t allow the arms to drop any further down here.
Once done, return the dumbbell back up to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. After you’ve done one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetition with the other arm.
Once all the repetitions are completed lower the dumbbell safely down.
If you find yourself falling sideways it may be better to hold a dumbbell in each hand to counteract the weight.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
