Dumbbell Flyes

This week's exercise instruction and video demonstration is dumbbell flyes, a great exercise that works the chest. Be sure to come back next week for a demonstration of stiff-leg deadlifts which work the hamstrings, buttocks, and lower back. Gigantic Bodybuilding thanks Global Health and Fitness for the exercise instruction and video demonstration. You will need the QuickTime plug-in (if you don't have it already in your browser) from Apple Computer to view the exercise video demo's--it's free and easy to download. Make sure that you put the plug-in in the correct directory and be patient while the video downloads. It's well worth the "weight"!

Instructions:

Lie on a bench holding a dumbbell in each hand above your chest, with your palms facing in.
Lower them in a semicircle to the sides of your chest.
Raise the dumbbells the same way you lowered them.
Focus on contracting the pecs throughout the movement, especially at the top when you bring the weights together.
