Reverse Fly

Reverse flys are a great way to hit your upper body, Hattori said. "This exercise targets the rear deltoid, which is often overlooked and important for good posture," she explained.

  • Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing toward each other, and stand with your feet hips-width distance apart. Keep a slight bend in your knees.
  • Hinge your torso forward from the hips, so your back is almost parallel with the floor and your hands are under your shoulders. Engage your abs to keep your back flat.
  • As you exhale, lift your arms out to the side so they are in line with your shoulders. Keep a slight bend in your elbows. To get the upper back working, think of sliding your shoulder blades together.
  • As you inhale, slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
  • This counts as one rep.
