Resistance Band Bent-Over Rear Delt Fly

How to Do:

1. Place a resistance band around both hands, ensuring there is light tension.
2. Bend at the hips to a 45-degree angle, keeping your back flat and core engaged. Let your arms hang down naturally.

4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position while inhaling.

Personal Trainer Tips:

• Keep a slight bend in your elbows to reduce tension on the joints.
• Avoid swinging your body or using momentum; focus on controlled movement.
