Lie flat on a bench with feet firmly planted on the floor.

Hold a dumbbell in each hand, extending arms above your chest with a slight bend in the elbows, palms facing each other.

Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells out to your sides in a wide arc, maintaining the slight elbow bend.

Lower until you feel a comfortable stretch across your chest.

Exhale and bring the dumbbells back up in the same arc, squeezing your chest muscles at the top.

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
