Band Lateral Raise

How to do it

  1. Stand on the middle of a resistance band with feet hip width apart, holding one end of the band in each hand.
  2. Let the arms hang by the sides with a slight bend in the elbows and tension already set in the band.
  3. Raise both arms out to the sides, leading with the elbows, until the hands reach roughly shoulder height.
  4. Focus the lift through the shoulders and lateral deltoids rather than shrugging the traps upward.
  5. Pause for a moment at the top, then lower the arms slowly against the band resistance.
  6. Exhale on the way up and keep the torso still without swinging the arms into motion.
