Resistance-Band Standing Single-Arm Shoulder Flexion

Resistance Band Standing Single Arm Shoulder Flexion

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Hold one end of the resistance band in one hand. Step on the other end with the corresponding foot to secure it.

2. Hand Position:

   • Raise your hand with the band to your side at hip level, palm facing inwards.

3. Movement:

   • Keeping your arm straight, lift your hand forward and upward in a controlled motion until your arm is parallel to the ground.

   • Make sure to keep a slight bend in your elbow to avoid strain.

4. Returning:

   • Slowly lower your hand back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

5. Repetitions:

   • Perform 10-15 repetitions with one arm before switching to the other arm.

6. Breathing:

   • Inhale as you lift your arm and exhale as you lower it back down.

7. Form Tips:

   • Keep your core engaged to maintain balance.

   • Avoid leaning back as you lift your arm; keep your torso straight.

8. Progression:

   • As you become stronger, you can use a resistance band with higher tension for added challenge.
