Exercise of the Day: Dumbbell Flye Off Floor



This exercise is great, because it only requires two dumbbells. No bench is needed — perfect for travelers!

Lie on the floor with two light dumbbells at arm's length above your shoulders with your palms facing each other.

Keeping the arms as straight as possible, lower the dumbbells out to each side of the chest in a semicircular motion until the weights are about even with the sides of your chest.

Return the weights back above your chest using the same path in which you used originally.

Exhale as you reach the top position.

Remember to breathe heavily, hold your chest high, and concentrate on your pecs.
