Dumbbell Fly on Exercise Ball
Step by step
How to perform

- Hold the dumbbells directly above your chest with your palms facing each other and your elbows slightly bent.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells out to the sides of your body in a wide arc, keeping the slight bend in your elbows, until your arms are parallel with the floor.
