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.
