How to do the Band Seated Lateral Raise
- Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor, holding the ends of a resistance band anchored under the bench with your arms hanging at your sides, palms facing inward, and a slight bend in your elbows.
- Raise your arms out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor, keeping your elbows slightly bent and leading with your elbows.
- Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the resistance band as you lower your arms.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Use an appropriate resistance band that challenges you without compromising your form.
- Ensure the band is securely anchored under the bench to prevent slipping.
- Keep your elbows slightly bent to avoid joint strain and focus on lifting with your shoulders.
