Front Raise with Band

How to Do It

In split or regular stance, stand on the left side of the resistance band while holding the right handle in right hand. Starting position is arm straight down in front of thigh, palm facing the thigh and elbow slightly bent. Slowly raise arm straight up until it is level with the shoulder, palm facing the ground (wrist straight!). Slowly lower back to starting position. Repeat for 12-16 reps and then switch arms for 1-3 sets. To change the resistance, stand on the band either closer to the handle (easier) or towards the middle of the band (harder).

This exercise works the anterior deltoid (front of the shoulder).
