The Drop a Jeans Size Workout

Rainbow Flye

Targets: Shoulders, chest, arms, and abs

Holding a dumbbell in each hand, lie faceup on stability ball with upper back resting on ball, knees bent 90 degrees, and feet flat, so torso is parallel to floor.
To get into start position, extend arms out to sides at shoulder level, elbows slightly bent, with palms facing up. (MAKE IT EASIER: Lie back with head and torso on a bench to perform move.)
Raise arms toward ceiling, rotating wrists as you lift so ends of dumbbells meet in center directly above chest with palms facing forward. Lower arm to start position.
Do 12 reps.

Tip: Think of hugging a beach ball throughout the movement -- your arms should remain slightly rounded.
