How to Do Standing Resistance Band Chest Pulls / Chest Openers / Back Flyes
- Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart, while maintaining a slight bend in your knees
- Holding the ends of a resistance band or tube, bring your arms up and out in front of you until they run perpendicular to your torso. This is the starting position
- When ready, using the muscles in your back, pull the ends of the resistance band away from each other. Work only within your range of comfort!

- Slowly release the tension and, in a controlled manner, allow the ends of band to pull themselves back together
