1. Start Position: Exhale as you slowly raise your arm 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.Duplicate the exercise for the opposite arm. For each set, perform the entire exercise for one arm,first, then for the other arm.

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 forward. Your elbows are positioned inward. Do not lock out your elbows.
• Raise your arm 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 arm as a single unit.

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

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

   • You can perform this exercise using both arms simultaneously.
