Move of the week: open up desk-bound chests with dumbbell chest fly

By Miranda Larbi

4 years ago

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: dumbbell chest fly.  

If you sit down at a desk all day, you probably know that you’re making posture mistakes. As you lean into your laptop, your shoulders rise ever higher towards your ears. That’s not a good thing, and it can be difficult to undo bad posture habits when you’re working from home. One exercise that can help, however, is the dumbbell chest fly. It can help open up your chest muscles and reduce upper back pain.

It’s simple but effective and doesn’t require you to have heavy weights at home to reap all the benefits.
