A weight bench helps you do butterfly exercises. If you want to build muscles in your upper body, butterfly exercises can help. Designed specifically to target muscles in your chest, flyes engage several muscle groups in your arms and shoulders as well, getting you ready for tank-top weather. There are several ways to do fly exercises, including using special machines at the gym or using dumbbells on a bench or stability ball.
Main Muscle: 1  Lie down on a flat bench with a dumbbell on each hand resting on top of your thighs. 2  Then using your thighs to help raise the dumbbells, lift the dumbbells one at a time so you can hold them in front of you at shoulder width with the palms of your hands facing each other. Raise the dumbbells up like you're pressing them, but stop and hold just before you lock out. This will be your starting position.
