Band Lateral Front Raise

1. Anchor a resistance band near the floor or step on it to secure it under your feet.

2. Stand facing away from the anchor point if it’s fixed. If standing on the band, keep feet at shoulder-width for stability.

3. Grasp the band with both hands, palms facing down. Begin with your arms straight down at your sides, with some tension in the band.

4. Keeping your back straight and core engaged, exhale as you raise your arms in front of you to about shoulder height. Your body should form a "T" shape.

5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, making sure your shoulder muscles are fully engaged.

6. Slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position while inhaling.

7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

8. Ensure the movement is controlled throughout to prevent the band from snapping back quickly.

Note: Maintain a slight bend in the elbows to avoid strain on the joint and ensure the shoulder muscles are doing the work. Adjust the resistance of the band as needed to suit your strength level.
