Move arms to the side in opposite directions while standing

Individual work

Stand upright, shoulder-width apart, upper arms close to the body, forearms pointing forwards (90 degree angle at the elbow joint), palms facing upwards. An elasticated band is stretched between the arms (place the band around the hands). From this position, move the forearms away from the body to the respective side (external rotation of the shoulders) to further stretch/tension the elastic band. Then bring your arms back to the starting position.

Attention:
The movement takes place in the forearms, while the upper arms remain stable.

Lighten:
Select an elastic band with less resistance.

Harden:
Select an elastic band with greater resistance.
