How to do band lateral raise

Coach's Tips

This exercise effectively targets the lateral part of the shoulder. When lowering your arm, stop at the point where the band still provides resistance, then raise it again!

Start Position

1. Stand upright with feet hip-width apart, holding a resistance band in each hand.

2. Extend your arms to the sides with a slight bend at the elbows, palms facing downward.

Proper Form

1. With elbows slightly bent, lift your arms outward and upward until they are parallel to the ground.

2. Pause briefly, then bring your arms back to the initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe in as you start the motion, and breathe out when lifting your arms.

2. Keep your chest and shoulders relaxed throughout the entire movement.

Precautions

1. Ensure your back remains straight and your core is engaged throughout the exercise.

2. Cease the exercise if you experience any pain or discomfort.
