Beginning

Beginning Band Front Raise

Step 1: Once you are comfortable with this exercise you can increase its intensity by adding an element of balance and stability. Perform the exercise while sitting on an SB, instead of standing. You'll have to tighten up your core muscles and tense your leg muscles to hold you steady. Step 2: To make it even more challenging, sit on the SB with one leg elevated while you perform the exercise. You'll be working your core muscles much more heavily in this variation.

Movement

Band Front Raise Movement

1. Find a fixed point that's very low to the ground to attach the band or tubing.

2. With your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width, face the anchor point for your tubing, and pick up the handle in both hands.

3. Both arms should be fully extended, with your palms facing the floor and your wrists in line with your forearms. Make sure that your back is straight and tilt forward slightly at the hips.

4. Tighten up your core to support your back and spine, then raise your arms upward until they are directly over your head while straightening up at the hips. Your arms will still be fully extended, with your wrists in line with your forearms.

5. Bring your arms back to your sides.

6. Remember not to use momentum to lift the weight, and avoid pushing the stomach or hips forward to make the lift. Make sure that you don't arch our round your back at any time during the exercise.
