Instructions
Resistance Band Kneeling Shoulder Press
Positioning
1. Set Up: Kneel on the floor on a mat for comfort. Place one end of the resistance band under your knees so it’s secure.
2. Grip: Hold the other end of the resistance band with both hands at shoulder height, with your elbows bent and your palms facing forward.
Movement
1. Starting Position: Keep your core engaged and maintain a straight back. Your knees should be hip-width apart.
2. Press Up: Inhale, then exhale as you press the band upwards until your arms are fully extended above your head. Make sure to keep your elbows slightly bent—don’t lock them out.
3. Lower Down: Inhale as you slowly lower the band back to shoulder height, returning to the starting position.
4. Repetitions: Aim for 10-15 repetitions, maintaining control throughout each movement.
Tips for Beginners
- Start with a lighter resistance band and increase resistance as you become more comfortable with the movement.
- Focus on keeping your movements smooth and controlled to avoid injury.
- Keep your head aligned with your spine and avoid arching your back during the press.
