If you do not own a home gym but want to do an exercise similar to the Butterflies for your chest, then try doing the Dumbbell Flyes and it will give you the same results.  I like doing this exercise with Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells. When starting this exercise,  make sure you lying on your back on a flat bench, then have your partner hand you each dumbbell while your arms are stretched out wide to your sides keeping your elbows slightly bent and your palms facing inward, toward each other.

When you lift the dumbbells up together, imagine your arms wrapping around a large tree, like you were hugging it, then at the very peak of the movement, squeeze your pecs together hard for a 1 count. Then upon returning to the start position, be very sure to lower the dumbbells in a slow and controlled movement. You should repeat this action for as many repetitions as you can do until failure. When doing these exercises or any other free weight exercise, it’s always a good idea to have a spotter for safety and to push you to get the most out of your workout.
