Resistance-Band Standing Shoulder External Rotation

Resistance Band Standing Shoulder External Rotation

• A sturdy pole or wall to anchor the band

Positioning:

1. Stand next to the pole or wall with your side facing it.

2. Loop the resistance band around the pole or secure it at elbow height.

3. Grasp the opposite end of the band with the hand closest to the anchor point.

4. Position your elbow at a 90-degree angle, keeping it close to your body.

5. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart for stability.

Movement:

1. Begin with your elbow bent and at your side, holding the band in front of you.

2. Keeping your elbow glued to your body, slowly rotate your forearm outward away from your body.

3. Raise your arm until your forearm is parallel to the ground or as far as comfortable without moving your elbow away from your side.

4. Hold this position for a moment, feeling the tension in your shoulder.

5. Slowly return to the starting position.

6. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions, then switch sides.

Tips:

• Maintain a controlled movement throughout the exercise to avoid using momentum.

• Keep your core engaged and posture upright to ensure stability.

• Adjust the resistance of the band as needed to tailor the exercise to your strength level.
