Want great pecs without having to hit the gym? No problem! Now you can recreate over a dozen gym exercises for your chest at your home or office, with the Aylio resistance bands. This includes variations of chest flies and presses, with available resistance levels reaching over 100 lbs. Drop that old myth of needing free weights or machines to get results. Feel the pump and see the results for yourself with our resistance bands. The exercises below are just a small sample of all the Aylio exercises available to target your chest.
Different exercises require different levels of resistance. For each exercise, choose the level of resistance that you feel most comfortable with. Remember, if you find an exercise too easy, even with the heavy duty orange band, you can always stack additional bands to the handles or ankle straps for an added degree of difficulty. The Aylio system supports up to five bands and over 100 lbs. of resistance! Try to add a little extra resistance each time you perform an exercise to keep your body challenged.
