Front raises with resistance bands are an effective shoulder exercise that targets the anterior deltoids using elastic resistance. This variation provides constant tension throughout the movement and allows for smooth, controlled motion.
Step by step guide:
- Stand with feet on the resistance band, shoulder-width apart
- Hold band handles at thigh level, palms facing down
- Keep slight bend in elbows throughout movement
- Stand tall with engaged core
- Raise arms forward up to shoulder height
- Keep movements controlled and steady
- Hold briefly at the top
- Lower with control to starting position
- Perform 12-15 repetitions for 3 sets
Tips
Maintain controlled movement speed. Don’t use momentum. Keep wrists straight and firm. Focus on shoulder engagement. Breathe steadily throughout exercise.
Benefits
Builds shoulder strength. Improves muscle endurance. Provides constant tension for muscle development. Enhances shoulder stability. Great for rehabilitation and conditioning.
Prevention
Choose appropriate band resistance. Don’t raise above shoulder level. Avoid jerky movements. Keep core engaged. Stop if experiencing shoulder pain.
