How to Standing Dumbbell Fly

Starting Position

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Hold dumbbells in both hands, keeping your arms slightly in front of you.

3. Bend your elbows slightly and face your palms toward each other.

Proper Form

1. Keep your elbow angle and open your chest by moving your arms out to the sides and back.

2. When you feel a stretch in your chest, pause, then bring the dumbbells together in front of you.

3. Hold the squeeze in your chest, then slowly return to the starting position.

4. Engage your core and repeat without leaning back.

Breathing Technique

Inhale as you open your arms, exhale as you bring them together.
