Chair Resistance-Band Seated Military-Press

Positioning:

1. Sit comfortably on a sturdy chair with your back straight and feet flat on the floor.

2. Hold one end of a resistance band in each hand. If you don’t have a band, you can mimic the motion without one.

3. Place the middle of the resistance band under your feet, ensuring it is secure.

Movement Instructions:

1. Start with your elbows bent and close to your body, forming a 90-degree angle. Your hands should be approximately at shoulder height, holding the ends of the resistance band.

2. Engage your core by tightening your abdominal muscles and keeping your back straight throughout the exercise.

3. Press your hands upward, straightening your arms while maintaining control over the resistance band. Your arms should extend fully above your head without locking your elbows.

4. Hold for a moment at the top of the movement.

5. Slowly lower your hands back down to the starting position, returning to the 90-degree angle at your elbows.

6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, typically 10-15.

Tips:

• Keep your movements steady and controlled to maximize effectiveness and reduce the risk of injury.

• Ensure that the resistance band provides adequate tension but is not too challenging to control.

• Maintain a neutral wrist position throughout the exercise to prevent strain.
