Perform all of these exercises for as many reps as you’d like, but we’ve provided a recommendation for reps. Perform the entire workout for either 1, 2 or 3 sets.
Lateral Shoulder Raise (single arm) – 15 reps
How to: Hold the resistance band in your right hand. Place the other side of the resistance band on the floor and stand on it with your feet hip-width apart. Stand tall with your back straight, abs engaged, right arm at your side, your palm facing inward, and your left hand on your hip. Exhale while you slowly lift your right arm up to shoulder height, keeping your arm straight. Then when your arm reaches parallel with the floor, pause, feel the contraction, and exhale as you slowly return back down to the start position to complete one rep. Finish a set on this side and then switch sides.
