Form tips
Ensure that you are standing in the correct position before starting the exercise. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and slightly staggered for balance. Your knees should be slightly bent to protect your lower back.
The Low Fly exercise should be performed slowly and with control. Avoid rushing through the movement or using momentum to pull the cables or bands. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury.
Engaging your core throughout the exercise can help maintain stability and protect your lower back from strain. This will also help you to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
A common mistake is to extend the arms too far back at the start of the movement. This can put unnecessary strain
