Raising and lowering the arms while standing

Individual work

Step, step onto the centre of the elastic band with your front foot, hold one end of the elastic band at hip height with your arms slightly bent (hands shoulder-width apart or together), raise your arms (elbows at shoulder height, hands approximately at face height) and lower them back to the starting position without changing the angle in the elbow joint.

Attention:
The movement only takes place in the shoulder joint (do not raise your shoulders), no hollow back (tighten your stomach).

Lighten:
Choose an elastic band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose an elastic band with greater resistance.
