How to do the Band Chest Fly
- Secure the middle of the resistance band to a sturdy anchor point at head height. Stand facing away from the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding one handle of the band in each hand.
- Extend your arms out to the sides with a slight bend in your elbows, keeping your palms facing forward. Step forward to create tension in the band, positioning your hands slightly below shoulder height.
- Move your arms in a wide arc motion, bringing your hands together in front of your chest. Squeeze your chest muscles as your hands meet, keeping a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
- Slowly return your arms to the starting position with control, maintaining tension in the band. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Ensure the resistance band is securely anchored to avoid slipping.
- Exhale as you bring your hands together and inhale as you return to the starting position.
- Focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you bring your hands together.
