WHAT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- The Kinesis Station Chest Flye is a chest exercise that you can do in the seated Kinesis Station Press. <\/li>
- As well as developing strength, this exercise also improves flexibility in the chest and gives you more shoulder stability. <\/strong><\/li>
- The seated position further isolates the upper body and therefore requires lower loading \u2013 it’s perfect for beginners and those recovering from a shoulder injury.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHOW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- Sit upright in the KST Press machine, with your back against the pad. Engage the core and set the shoulders.<\/li>
- Grab the handles and press them forwards slightly, so your chest\/shoulders are under slight tension. Keep the elbows slightly bent. <\/li>
- Keeping the elbows slightly bent, sweep the forwards allowing the hands to meet in front of the body. Squeeze the chest muscles. <\/li>
- Slowly return to the Kinesis Station chest flye starting position and repeat for reps or time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
WHY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Although most people see the chest flye of as a bodybuilding exercise, it can integrate well into most general fitness programs<\/strong>. The use of lower loads \u2013 especially when using a cable machine like Kinesis \u2013 supports control of movement and allows for higher reps that help to activate the muscles. Those who incorporate low-load cable flyes into their training workouts will often report immediately noticeable increases in a range of motion and control of the shoulder. All of which can benefit more substantial pressing movements.<\/li>
- The chest flye can also be a great corrective exercise for both injury prevention and as part of injury rehabilitation<\/strong>. Firstly, the seated position removes the stability provided by the lower body and core \u2013 this allows for better isolation of the chest\/shoulder during the early stages of corrective exercise training. As the shoulder joint learns to stabilise on its own, it can be re-integrated into standing, compound movements. Secondly, the straight-arm position can help to develop end-range muscular and connective tissue (ligaments, tendons) strength \u2013 which is protective to joints.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
