Raising and lowering an arm while standing (right)

Individual work

Standing upright with your shoulders shoulder-width apart, hold one end of the elasticated rubber band against your body at navel height with your arm bent. With the arm stretched out along the body, the other (right) hand holds the free end of the elastic band (the back of the hand points away from the body). From this position, raise the outstretched arm to shoulder height in front of the body (anteversion of the arm on one side). Then lower the arm back to the starting position.

Attention:
Straight back; the movement takes place exclusively in the arm (no support through movement of the upper body, which remains stable).

Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.

Harden:
Choose a rubber band with greater resistance.

Variation:
Exercise can also be performed sitting down.
