[Elite_video_player id=”373″]

Muscle Groups
  • Shoulders
Purposes
  • Deltoid strength (emphasis: front head)
  • Torso stability

Overview

Shoulder flexion performed with a resistance band and while standing strengthens the shoulder muscles. Pause at the top of the exercise to achieve peak-contraction of the deltoids. Keep your trunk tight and torso upright to activate your core muscles. Perform this exercise on an unstable base such as a Bosu ball to further challenge your core muscles. Perform this exercise at the end of your upper-body workout.

Description

  • Secure one end of the band and hold the other end in one hand while standing.
  • Face away from the band’s attachment point, and keep your chest up at all time.
  • With the arm straight, lift it out in front to shoulder height.
  • Then lower the arm to the start position.

Mistakes

  • Shrugging the shoulder excessively
  • Hunching forward
  • Leaning back
