How to: Band reverse fly

  1. Stand or sit with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the resistance band in both hands.
  2. With a slight bend in your elbows, pull the band outward and back, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  3. Return to the starting position in a controlled manner and repeat.

Common Mistakes

  • Using too much momentum.
  • Not fully extending or controlling the band.
  • Lifting too high, which can strain the shoulders.

Modifications

  • Perform the exercise seated for added stability.
  • Use a lighter resistance band if struggling with the movement.

Tips

  • Maintain a slight bend in the elbows throughout the movement.
  • Focus on using your shoulders to lift the arms rather than the back.
  • Keep the movement controlled to avoid momentum.
