Stick Standing Front Raise (Shoulders)
Starting Position:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Hold the stick with both hands, palms facing down, and arms fully extended in front of you at hip height.
Hand Position:
Keep your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the stick.
Movement:
Engage your core and maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.
Slowly raise the stick in front of you by lifting your arms straight up, ensuring they stay parallel to the ground.
Raise the stick until your arms are at shoulder height.
Pause:
Hold the raised position for a moment, focusing on engaging your shoulder muscles.
Return to Start:
Slowly lower the stick back to the starting position, ensuring control throughout the movement.
Repetitions:
Repeat for 10-15 reps, taking breaks as necessary.
Tips:
Keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid swinging.
Focus on using your shoulders and avoid straining your neck.
Ensure that your elbows remain slightly bent throughout the exercise to reduce strain.
