Target Muscles: Chest (pecs)
Pec flys can be done in a couple ways. The picture shows them being done on the floor. You can also use a bench (flat or incline) or stability ball.
This exercise not only strengthens your chest but it also works on joint stability in the shoulder (rotator cuff).
Following in the picture:
(1) Start with a comfortable weight.
***It is important that you do not use to much weight as this could cause injury. Use a weight that is challenging but not impossible. If you feel unstable during this exercise try lowering your weight or have someone spot you at our elbows (only enough to keep your arm in line).
(2) Your arms will start straight out to the sides, bring your arms straight up above your chest until your hands meet and then SLOWLY bring your arms back down to the starting position.
**If you are on a bench or stability ball, it is very important to make sure you do not let your arm drop below the level of your shoulder. This could cause you to injure or tear your pec or rotator cuff.
