About

It's a workout that targets the front of the shoulder using a band!

How to Band Front 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. Position your hands in front of your thighs.

4. 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 your palms are facing down towards the floor.

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

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