How to: Band low fly
- Attach the band to a stable anchor at shoulder height.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding one end of the band in each hand.
- Step away from the anchor point to create tension in the band.
- With your elbows slightly bent, open your arms out to the sides until they are level with your chest.
- Bring your arms back together in front of you, squeezing your chest muscles as you do so.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the elbows drop excessively during the fly.
- Using too much force from the shoulders instead of the chest.
- Not keeping the core engaged, leading to an unstable posture.

- Use lighter bands for those new to the exercise.
Tips
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
