Lying Front Raise

Lying Front Raise for Shoulders

Positioning

1. Start Position: Lie flat on your back on a mat or soft surface. Keep your knees bent and feet flat on the ground, about hip-width apart.
2. Arm Position: Extend your arms straight above your chest, keeping them perpendicular to your body. Your palms should be facing each other.

Movement Instructions

1. Lift: Engage your core and slowly raise your arms up towards the ceiling, keeping them straight. Your hands should move directly upwards without bending your elbows.
2. Hold: At the top of the movement, pause for a moment to feel the contraction in your shoulders.
3. Lower: Slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
4. Repetitions: Aim for 10-15 repetitions, resting for a moment between sets if needed.

Tips

- Focus on controlled movements rather than speed to ensure proper form.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears as you perform the exercise.
- If comfortable, you can increase intensity by holding light weights in your hands.
