Resistance-Band 90-Degree External Rotation

Resistance Band 90 Degrees External Rotation

1. Starting Position:

   • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

   • Hold the resistance band with one hand, keeping your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle and your forearm parallel to the ground.

   • Your elbow should be close to your side.

2. Setup:

   • Anchor the other end of the resistance band to a stable object at waist height. This could be a pole, an immovable door handle, or anything sturdy enough that can support resistance.

   • Ensure there is some tension in the band at the starting position.

3. Movement:

   • Slowly rotate your arm outward, away from your body, while maintaining the 90-degree angle at the elbow.

   • Keep your elbow close to your side throughout the movement to isolate the shoulder muscles.

4. Return:

   • After reaching the end of your comfortable range of motion, pause briefly.

   • Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement to maintain tension in the band.

5. Repetitions:

   • Perform 10 to 15 repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.

   • Aim for 2 to 3 sets.

Tips:

• Focus on control rather than speed; this helps to engage the correct muscles effectively.

• Make sure to maintain good posture throughout the exercise, keeping your core engaged and your shoulders relaxed.

• If the resistance is too much, step closer to the anchor point to reduce tension. If it’s too easy, step further away for more resistance.
