90 Degree Side

Stand with your feet together - wider if you want to make the exercise harder, holding the handles of the resistance band in each hand, with your feet placed centrally on the band.

Your arms need to be tucked into your side, with your arms bent at 90 degrees throughout the exercise.

Smoothly lift the handles up from your side, to a horizontal position out to your side, aiming to keep your bent, hands inline with your shoulders.

Focus on keeping the upper body fixed by keeping your abdominal muscles contracted throughout the movement to avoid leaning forward or back during the lifting or lowering phase.

You may also decide to adjust your wrist position so that palms are facing downwards or inwards, working both arms at the same time, or simply alternating arms.

Can also be performed seated, ideally on an incline bench, which will make the exercise easier.
