Band low lateral raise

Proper Position

• Anchor a resistance band at a low point, such as under your foot or on a stable structure near the ground.
• Hold the other end of the band in one hand, palm facing down or slightly inward.
• Stand upright with your arm extended along your side and slightly in front of you, with your feet hip-width apart for stability.
• Engage your core to maintain a straight and stable posture.

Movement

• Slowly raise your arm to the side until it reaches shoulder height or slightly above, keeping your elbow slightly bent.
• Focus on engaging your deltoid muscles to perform the movement.
• Slowly lower your arm back to the starting position, controlling the band’s tension.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms.

Breathing

• Inhale as you raise your arm.
• Exhale as you lower it back to the starting position.

Tips

• Maintain a stable posture and avoid moving your torso or compensating with your lower back.
• Use a resistance band with an appropriate level of tension to ensure smooth and controlled movement.
• Avoid lifting your arm too high to prevent excessive strain on your shoulder joint.
• If you feel tension in your neck, ensure you are engaging your shoulder muscles and relaxing your traps.
