Instructions

Dumbbell Lying Fly on Floor

- An exercise mat (optional for comfort)

Starting Position:
1. Lie down on your back on the floor or an exercise mat.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended straight above your chest. Your palms should face each other.
3. Keep your feet flat on the floor, approximately hip-width apart for stability.
4. Ensure your back is pressed against the floor, and your core is engaged.

Movement Instructions:
1. Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells out to the sides in a wide arc. Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
2. Lower the weights until your elbows are just above the floor or until you feel a stretch in your chest muscles. Avoid letting the dumbbells touch the ground to maintain tension in the muscles.
3. Exhale and raise the dumbbells back to the starting position by bringing them together above your chest in the same wide arc.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:
- Focus on keeping your movements slow and controlled to avoid injury.
- Keep your elbows slightly bent at all times to protect your joints.
- Make sure to engage your core throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
- Adjust the weight of the dumbbells if you find the exercise too challenging or too easy.
