Band Chest Fly

1. Start by attaching a resistance band to a stable object or cable machine at chest level. If you have two bands, attach each separately to form two anchor points.

2. Stand with your back to the anchor, grabbing the ends of the resistance band with each hand. Step forward to create tension in the bands.

3. With a slight bend in your elbows, extend your arms out to the sides parallel to the floor. This is your starting position.

4. Keeping your torso stationary, bring your hands together in front of you by squeezing your chest and moving primarily at the shoulder joint. The only movement should occur in your arms; keep your wrists straight throughout the exercise.

5. Once your hands meet in front of your chest, pause and contract your chest muscles.

6. Slowly reverse the movement back to the starting position, feeling a stretch in your chest as you return.

7. Perform the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Tips:
- Keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the movement.
- Avoid jerky movements; perform the exercise in a controlled manner.
- Start with a lighter resistance to master the form before progressing to a heavier band.
- Ensure the band is securely attached to prevent it from snapping back.
