Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a resistance band in both hands. Keep your elbows slightly bent.

  1. Extend your arms out to the sides, pulling the band until your hands are in line with your shoulders.
  2. Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining tension in the band.
  3. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Band low fly

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Band low fly using your band.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your deltoids.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your deltoids rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
