The incline dumbbell fly activates a host of muscles in the upper body. Primarily, it targets the pectoral major muscles. Other stabilisation muscles activated in this exercise include the biceps and the deltoids.

Instructions:

Step 1: Set an appropriate angle and lie down on an incline bench in a supine position. Hold dumbbells in both the hands such that the palms are facing each other throughout the duration of the exercise. Position them above the shoulders with slightly bent elbows.

Step 2: Slowly lower the arms to the side until the dumbbells are in line with the upper body.

Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tips: Vary the inclination angle to target the different regions of the pectoral muscles. Do not use momentum to lower the dumbbells as it could lead to a serious rotator cuff injury.
