Chest Fly (Band)

An isolation exercise that targets the chest by adducting the arms in a wide arc using resistance bands, emphasizing chest contraction.

Instructions

1. Anchor a resistance band at chest height to a fixed point.
2. Stand facing away from the anchor point with the band secured at chest level.
3. Hold one end of the band in each hand with arms extended to the sides at shoulder height.
4. Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
5. Pull both hands together in a wide arc motion across your body, focusing on chest contraction.
6. Squeeze your chest muscles at the center point.
7. Slowly return your arms to the starting position with control.

Tips

• Maintain a slight bend in your elbows to reduce joint stress.
• Focus on using your chest muscles to pull the bands together rather than arm strength.
• Perform the movement in a controlled manner, avoiding jerky motions.
• Keep your core engaged and body stable throughout the exercise.
• This exercise is excellent for isolating the chest and improving definition.
