Resistance-Band Standing Single-Arm Lateral Raise

Resistance Band Standing Single Arm Lateral Raise

Starting Position:
1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Anchor the resistance band under your left foot. Hold the other end with your right hand.
3. Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged.

Movement Instructions:
1. Begin with your right arm at your side, palm facing your body.
2. Slowly raise your right arm out to the side, keeping a slight bend in your elbow. Your body should remain straight and stable.
3. Raise your arm until it is parallel to the ground or slightly above shoulder level, ensuring your shoulder remains relaxed and down.
4. Hold the top position for a moment, feeling the contraction in your shoulder and upper arm.
5. Slowly lower your arm back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to your left arm.

Tips:
- Perform the exercise slowly to avoid using momentum; focus on the muscle engagement.
- Keep your shoulders away from your ears to prevent tension.
- Ensure proper breathing: inhale as you lower your arm, and exhale as you raise it.
