Band Lateral Raise
How to do it
Starting position
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and step on the center of the band.
- Hold the ends of the band with both hands by the sides of your thighs.
- Keep your chest up and lock your shoulders down without shrugging.
- Keep a very slight bend in your elbows and get ready.
Movement
- Raise your arms out to the sides to shoulder height.
- Keep your wrists straight so they do not bend.
- Return to the starting position while feeling the band's tension.
Breathing
Exhale as you raise your arms, and inhale as you lower them.
Trainer tips
- Step on the band and raise it to the sides
- Pause for 1 second at the top
- Lower slowly while resisting the tension
Cautions
- It can strain your shoulder joints, so do not raise your arms too high.
- Bouncing up quickly with momentum
If you feel pain during the exercise, stop. If it continues, talk to a professional.
