How to do it
Pin your working-side shoulder blade down and back before each repetition.
- 1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and secure one end of the resistance band under your foot.
- 2
Hold the other end of the band with the hand of the same side.
- 3
Keep your arm straight, palm facing down, and raise it in front of you to shoulder level.
- 4
Slowly lower your arm back to the starting position while maintaining control.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.
Expert tip
Keep your core engaged and avoid using momentum to lift the band. Focus on moving your arm using only your shoulder muscles to ensure proper form and maximum benefit.
