- Initiate the movement by performing a reverse fly motion, moving your hands out laterally to your sides.
- Keep your elbows extended as you perform the movement, bringing the band to your chest. Ensure that you keep your shoulders back during the exercise.
- Pause as you complete the movement, returning to the starting position under control.

Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Band Pull Apart slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
