Suspension Trainer Fly Instructions

  1. Adjust the suspension trainer to a suitable height, making sure it is securely anchored.
  2. Stand facing away from the anchor point, holding the handles with an overhand grip.
  3. Step forward, extending your arms in front of you at shoulder height, keeping your body straight.
  4. Engage your core and squeeze your shoulder blades together as you pull your arms out to the sides, keeping them straight.
  5. Continue pulling until your hands are in line with your shoulders, feeling the contraction in your chest muscles.
  6. Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining control and tension in your muscles.
  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Suspension Trainer Fly Tips

  1. Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe, engaging your core muscles throughout the exercise. This will help you maintain stability and prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
  2. Start with a slight bend in your elbows and slowly lower your body towards the ground, allowing your chest to lead the movement. Focus on feeling the stretch in your chest muscles as you descend.
  3. As you push yourself back up, imagine squeezing your chest muscles together, really emphasizing the contraction. This will help you maximize the engagement of your chest and build strength in that area.
  4. Keep your shoulders down and away from your ears, avoiding any shrugging or tension in that area. By maintaining proper shoulder alignment, you can ensure that the focus remains on your chest muscles.
  5. Control your breathing throughout the exercise, exhaling as you push yourself up and inhaling as you lower your body down. This will help you maintain a steady rhythm and optimize your performance.
