Instructions

  1. Setup:

    • Secure the resistance band to an anchor point at chest height. Make sure it is securely fastened.

  2. Starting Position:

    • Stand facing away from the anchor point, feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Hold the free end of the resistance band with one hand. Step slightly forward to create tension in the band.

    • Position your arm so that it is extended in front of you, at shoulder height, with a slight bend in your elbow. Your palm should be facing inward.

  3. Movement:

    • With control, pull the band out to the side.

    • Keep your elbow slightly bent and your palm facing downward as you move your arm outward.

    • Engage your chest muscles as you stretch the band, feeling the stretch across your chest.

  4. Return:

    • Slowly return your arm back to the starting position, maintaining control of the movement.

    • Avoid letting the band snap back quickly; focus on a controlled return to maximize effectiveness.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Perform 8-12 repetitions on one side, then switch to the other arm.

  6. Tips:

    • Keep your core engaged and maintain good posture throughout the exercise.

    • Avoid arching your back; focus on isolating your chest muscles during the fly movement.

    • Adjust the resistance by stepping further away from the anchor point for more tension or closer for less.
