Alternate Arms In
Commence the exercise standing with your feet staggered (one foot back - one foot forward), band placed under front foot, holding handles in each hand, at shoulder height close to your shoulders. Always check for signs of wear and tear prior to performing this exercise, as it is places a lot of strain on the band.

You may decide to have your palms facing inwards, or forwards at both the start or finish of the movement, working with either one arm or both arms.
Smoothly lift one handle vertically, taking the handle directly above your shoulder with your arm straight, keeping your back straight. Lower down under control and repeat with your other arm, for desired amount of reps.
Avoid arching the spine, leaning over to your sides, or driving up with your legs at the start of your lift, focus on the muscles you want to work, the shoulders.
If you find this method to difficult, you may decide to perform either seated, or simply working one arm at a time, with the band placed according to your strength levels, under the front foot.
