How to: Resistance Band Rear Fly
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hold the resistance band with both hands.
- Step on the band with both feet to create resistance.
- Bend slightly forward at the hips, keeping your back straight.
- With a slight bend in your elbows, raise your arms out to the side until they are parallel to the ground.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back down.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight, which can lead to loss of form.
- Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the movement.
- Allowing the shoulders to rise towards the ears instead of keeping them relaxed.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise seated on a bench to reduce strain on the lower back.
- Use lighter resistance bands to accommodate strength levels.
Tips
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
- Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
- Keep your core engaged to maintain stability.
