Reverse Fly Exercises to Increase Back Strength

The next exercise I’m going to demonstrate for you is called a reverse fly. You’re going to use dumbbells to do this exercise. Go ahead and bring the weight by your side. Your feet are going to come together at least hip width apart, weights are going to come down in front in front of you and draw your chest close to the floor, flattening your back and making your abdominals as tight as possible. You’re going to slightly bend you elbows. You’re not going to change the motion of your arms, so you’re not going to bend your elbow anymore than what you started with. Keep that in mind and you’re moving from your shoulder joint. You’re going to exhale as you squeeze the shoulder blades together and inhale as you lower. Exhale, lift and squeeze and inhale, lower. Make sure that you squeeze those shoulder blades together. Inhale lower, exhale and inhale, perfect, good. You don’t want to hyperextend, so you want to make sure that you don’t lift those arms up past your shoulders. Perfect!
