How to do a chest fly

  1. Anchor the band behind you at chest height and hold a handle in each hand, arms extended out to the sides with a slight bend in the elbows.
  2. Keep your chest up and core engaged with feet shoulder-width apart.
  3. Bring both hands together in front of your chest in a wide arcing motion.
  4. Squeeze your chest muscles at the end of the movement.
  5. Slowly return your arms to the starting position with control.

Form tips

  • Maintain a slight bend in the elbows throughout the movement.
  • Keep your shoulders down and avoid shrugging.
  • Control the band on the return to maximize tension.
