How to: Band Low Chest Fly
- Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart and secure the band at a low point behind you.
- With a handle in each hand, extend your arms out to your sides, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
- Squeeze your chest and bring your arms forward in a wide arc until they meet in front of you.
- Hold briefly and return to the starting position, controlling the resistance of the band.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the elbows drop too low.
- Using too much momentum instead of controlling the movement.
- Not keeping the shoulders back and down.
Modifications
- Use lighter resistance bands for lower intensity.
- Perform seated if standing is too challenging.
Tips
- Maintain a slight bend in the elbows throughout the movement.
- Engage your core for stability.
