Attach a resistance band to an anchor behind you. Press the band straight in front, being careful to stop at an extended arm while simultaneously not protracting the scapula. Press one side at a time, while lunging with one foot in front. Make sure to change legs when you change arms. This is a technique used to great effect by LiveWise Health in their physiotherapy practice. 

Bench press is a common exercise done with weights, but it can also be completed using resistance bands. You will need a bench and 2 anchors on either side. These can either be heavy objects or bars. Secure the band and press it over the chest while lying on the bench.

To complete resistance band chest flies you will need 2 resistance bands of the same thickness. Attach them behind you at positions to your left and right at chest height. Lunge forward with one leg, and with straight arms, press the hands together at chest height. Once half a set is completed, change legs.

In resistance band crossovers the bands are again attached behind you at chest height. Instead of maintaining straight arms however, both bands are pushed forward and cross over at the full extension of the exercise while lunging. Once half a set is completed, change legs and hand positions.  

For front raise the set up is similar to that in the resistance band chest fly exercise, except the bands are attached to much lower anchor point close to the ground. Start in a lunge position with the hands by the hips. Press both bands up to chest height while maintaining straight arms.
