Form tips
Hold the ends of the band with each hand. The band should be under your feet. Make sure your grip is firm and the band is secure under your feet to prevent it from slipping and causing injury. Your palms should face each other and your arms should hang perpendicular to the floor.
Raise your arms out to the sides until they're at shoulder level. Ensure the movement is controlled and slow, both while lifting and lowering the band. Avoid jerky movements, which can strain your muscles and joints.
Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise, and focus on using your shoulder muscles to lift the band. Avoid using momentum or your back muscles
