Pilates Free Weight Exercise: Bent Over Fly

Video Transcript

"This exercise is called the bent over fly. As we are bent over don't just hang there, once again pull in the abs so we are going to go ahead and bend over, pick up our weight, making sure that your shoulders are locked in, up back and down. Take a nice inhale, head is in line with the spine and exhale lift the weights, pulling the scapula together, inhale lower, exhale lift, inhale lower, and as you lift pause up here and inhale lower. The movement should be initiated between the scapula and the rhomboids so you are not just working one arm or the other but you are actually working the entire back. Again pulling in on the abs and breathing as you move."
