Ring Fly
How to do it
- Set two gymnastic rings to about chest height and grasp one ring in each hand with your arms extended out to your sides at shoulder level.
- Lean forward into a staggered athletic stance so your body forms one straight line from head to heels with the rings under tension.
- Brace your core to keep your torso rigid, then sweep both rings together in a wide arc in front of your chest by adducting your arms with your pectorals.
- Squeeze your chest as the rings meet, feeling the pecs draw the arms together, before slowly letting them travel back out to the sides.
- Exhale as the rings come together and inhale on a slow, controlled return until you feel the stretch across your chest.
- Keep your hips in line with your shoulders rather than letting them sag, and drive the arc with the chest instead of shrugging through the shoulders.
