Shoulder External Rotation

How to Do It

  1. Attach band to a sturdy object and sit or stand with right side facing object, holding handle in the left hand.
  2. Begin with hand in front of belly, elbow at 90 degrees.
  3. Keeping elbow in fixed position, rotate the forearm out to the side to about 30-45 degrees (not too far!).
  4. Slowly bring the arm back in and repeat for 1-3 sets of 10-16 reps. Skip this move if you have shoulder problems.
