Standing Lateral Raise With Bands

Area Targeted: Side Shoulder

Can you get a better Side Shoulder Exercise than Standing Lateral Shoulder Raise with Tube Bands? We don't think so! This exercise isolates and works the Lateral Deltoids (Side Shoulder) without the momentum normally associated with free weights. You will work the muscle incredibly hard without the wear and tear on the joints.

Body Positioning:

Stand on the band(s) hips width apart. Now grip a handle in each hand and stand up straight with your back straight, head straight, chest up, and stomach tight. Start with your arms slightly bent and palms facing in, at your sides.

Movement

Raise your arms straight out to the sides, until your elbows are at shoulder height. Return to the starting position (controlling the resistance). Repeat.
