Lateral Raise - With Bands

A focused movement for building your shoulders.

Using resistance bands for lateral raises helps maintain steady tension and improves shoulder endurance and posture.

Instructions

  1. Stand on the center of a resistance band with a handle in each hand, palms facing inward at your sides.
  2. With a slight bend in the elbows, raise your arms out to the sides until your hands reach shoulder height.
  3. Imagine pouring water from a jug — tilt your thumbs slightly downward as you lift.
  4. Keep your torso still and avoid using momentum.
  5. Pause briefly at the top, then lower the handles slowly back to your sides.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
