Targets: Side delt

About

It's a workout that can target the shoulder on the sides. When you lower your arm, only lower it down to the point where there still is resistance and raise it again!

How to Band Lateral Raise

Starting Position

1. Step on the band with both feet to secure it.

2. Hold the ends of the band with both hands and stand shoulder-width apart.

3. Open your chest and straighten your back.

Proper Form

1. Slowly lift your arms to shoulder height while keeping your elbows slightly bent.

2. Make sure the palms of your hands are facing the floor or towards the front of your body.

3. Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.

4. However, do not lower your arms completely; only lower them until your shoulders are relaxed.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to raise your hands higher than shoulder height.

2. If your palms are facing behind your body, it may cause shoulder pain, so please keep them facing the floor or in front of your body.
