How to perform Machine Fly

1

Sit on the machine with your back flat on the pad.

2

Take hold of the handles. Tip: Your upper arms should be positioned parallel to the floor; adjust the machine accordingly. This will be your starting position.

3

Push the handles together slowly as you squeeze your chest in the middle. Breathe out during this part of the motion and hold the contraction for a second.

4

Return back to the starting position slowly as you inhale until your chest muscles are fully stretched.

5

Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
