Lateral Raise - With Bands

Sequenza

1. 01 · starting position

   To begin, stand on an exercise band so that tension begins at arm's length. Grasp the handles using a pronated (palms facing your thighs) grip that is slightly less than shoulder width. The handles should be resting on the sides of your thighs. Your arms should be extended with a slight bend at the elbows and your back should be straight. This will be your starting position.

2. 02 · lift

   Use your side shoulders to lift the handles to the sides as you exhale. Continue to lift the handles until they are slightly above parallel. Tip: As you lift the handles, slightly tilt the hand as if you were pouring water and keep your arms extended. Also, keep your torso stationary and pause for a second at the top of the movement.

3. 03 · lower

   Lower the handles back down slowly to the starting position. Inhale as you perform this portion of the movement.

4. 04 · repeat

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
