- 1
Set the pulleys to a low position and place a stability ball between them.
- 2
Sit on the ball and walk your feet forward, rolling down until your upper back is supported by the ball, hips lifted.
- 3
With a slight bend in your elbows, grasp the handles with your palms facing each other.
- 4
Open your arms out to the sides, keeping the bend in your elbows consistent.
- 5
Squeeze your chest to bring the handles back together above your chest.
- 6
Control the movement as you return to the starting position.

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Engage your core to maintain balance on the stability ball. Perform the fly movement with a controlled tempo, focusing on the stretch and contraction of the chest muscles.
