Keep your arms straight and slowly raise them to the sides until they're at shoulder level, making sure to keep the resistance band taut.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, feeling the contraction in your shoulder muscles.
Slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position, maintaining control over the movement and not letting the band snap back quickly.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: As you lift your arms to the sides, ensure that the movement is slow and controlled. Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the band, as this can lead to muscle strain or injury. Your arms should remain straight and parallel to the floor at the top of the movement. Keep Shoulders Down: One common mistake is to shrug the shoulders or lift them towards the ears during the exercise. This can lead to unnecessary strain on the neck. Instead, keep your shoulders down and relaxed, focusing the effort on your deltoids, the muscles you are aiming to strengthen with this exercise. Breathing Technique: Always remember to breathe correctly
