Flat Flyes For The Chest

1. Lie flat on your back with weights in each hand. Both arms should be parallel with the ground, pointing outward away from your body. Both hands should be pointing toward the ceiling.

2. Begin the repetition by lifting both arms toward each other, above the chest area, until the palms are facing each other and the weights touch. Hold this position at the top for one second and squeeze the chest area.

3. Return to the starting position.

This will constitute one repetition. This motion should be similar to giving a friend a hug while lying on your back. Make sure your elbows are slightly bent throughout the exercise. Perform this motion for 10 - 15 repetitions.
