1. Start Position: Exhale as you slowly raise your arms aligning it just outside shoulder width.
2. Middle Position: As you raise, concentrate on rotating from your shoulder only. Your upper and lower arm move as a single unit. Do not bend your wrist, and keep a slight bend in your elbow.
3. End Position: Raise until your arm is at shoulder height. Hold for1/2 a second.
4. Return to Middle: Inhale as you slowly return to starting position.
5. Return to Start: Do not lock out your elbow. Repeat the movement for the recommended number of repetitions.

Start at this Position:

• Select a resist-a-band of your desired resistance.
• Grip the handles of each side of the band.
• Step on the band with one foot, keeping your feet shoulder width apart and the band length equal on both sides.
• For added resistance, this exercise can also be done with both feet on the band.
• Keep your arms at your sides with your palms facing backward. Your elbows are positioned outward. Do not lock out your elbows.
• Raise your arms slightly in front of your body, creating resistance on the band.
• Make sure that you feel slight, but sufficient resistance on the band. If you need more resistance, step closer to the handle on the band.
• Keep your back straight, head aligned with your spine, and knees slightly bent.

1. Throughout the entire range of motion:

   • Keep your back straight, head aligned with your spine, and knees slightly bent.
   • Do not bend your wrists.
   • Keep your elbows facing inward and slightly bent.

2. Move by rotating from your shoulder only, moving your upper and lower arms as a single unit.

3. At end position, never raise your arms beyond shoulder height.

4. Use your arms to perform the exercise, not your body.

   • You can perform this exercise using both arms simultaneously.
