Instructions
Resistance Band Pass Through for Shoulders
Starting Position
1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Grasp the resistance band with both hands, holding it in front of you at shoulder height.
3. Your palms should be facing down, with your hands spaced wider than shoulder-width apart on the band.
Movement Steps
1. Raise the Band: Start by raising the band overhead. Your arms should be straight, and the band should be taut.
2. Pass Through: Slowly lower the band back behind your head, maintaining straight arms. Be careful not to hyperextend your back; the movement should come from your shoulders.
3. Return to Start: Bring the band back over your head to the starting position, keeping your arms straight throughout the movement.
4. Repeat: Perform 10-15 repetitions, maintaining control of the band to avoid snapping.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise for stability.
- If you feel discomfort in your shoulders, reduce the range of motion or the resistance of the band.
- Focus on smooth, controlled movements to maximize effectiveness and prevent injury.
