Band Lateral Raise

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, placing the middle of a resistance band under your feet.

Hold one end of the band in each hand, arms at your sides with palms facing inward.

Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the exercise to reduce joint strain.

Focus on using your shoulder muscles rather than swinging your body for momentum.

Shrugging the shoulders and letting the upper traps lead the lift.

Swinging the torso or using the hips to create momentum.

Raising the arms beyond a controlled shoulder-height range.
