Seated Side Circles

Sit on an incline bench, with the band under your feet, holding the handles either side of your shoulders with your arms straight. This is a difficult exercise, and as such you may wish to work one arm at a time.

START
FINISH
make the circles small and controlled aim to keep your arms and back straight throughout the exercise

Keeping your arms extended out to the sides, make small rotating circles in both directions, commencing with small (8 - 12 inch) circles, taking your hands around as large as possible.

As you lower your arm, this will obviously reduce the resistance, however aim to keep the resistance on throughout the movement, you may have to make a semicircle with your hand.

Aim to keep your back pushed back into the bench, keeping your arm straight throughout.
