Resistance Band Seated Shoulder Press
How to Do:
- Set Up: Sit on the floor or a bench and place the resistance band under your thighs. Hold one end of the band in each hand with your palms facing forward and elbows bent at 90 degrees.
- Position: Keep your feet flat on the floor and your back straight, holding the band at shoulder height.
- Press: Press the resistance band overhead by extending your arms fully, exhaling as you lift. Ensure your core is engaged and maintain an upright posture.
- Lower: Slowly return your arms to the starting position, controlling the movement as you inhale.
- Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions.
Benefits:
The seated resistance band shoulder press targets the deltoids, triceps, and upper chest. It provides constant tension, especially as your arms extend, making it effective for shoulder strength and stability. This exercise is a great option for those looking to build shoulder muscles while minimizing joint strain. It’s ideal for home workouts and can be adjusted for different resistance levels, providing a versatile and low-impact alternative to dumbbell or barbell presses.
