Instructions
1. Start by sitting on a bench or chair with your back straight and feet flat on the ground. Make sure your posture is upright throughout the exercise.
2. Place a resistance band under both feet and hold the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing inwards) at your sides. Ensure the band has equal tension on both sides.
3. Keeping your core engaged, lift both arms out to the sides with elbows slightly bent, not exceeding shoulder height.
4. Raise your arms to the side until they're parallel to the ground. Focus on using your shoulder muscles to perform the lift, rather than using momentum.
5. Hold the top position for a brief pause, then slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Ensure that you maintain controlled movements both on the ascent and descent to fully engage the deltoids and provide constant tension with the resistance band.
