Technique
How to do the Chest Fly (Suspension)
- Set the suspension straps to mid-length and face away from the anchor point. Grasp a handle in each hand and lean forward into a plank-like position with your arms extended in front of your chest, palms facing each other.
- Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, open your arms out to your sides in a wide arc, lowering your chest toward the floor.
- Squeeze your chest to bring your arms back together in front of you, returning your body to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels; do not let your hips sag.
- Only open your arms as far as you can control to protect your shoulders.
- Walk your feet back to make the exercise easier, or forward to make it harder.
- Exhale as you bring your arms together and inhale as you open them.
