Elastics Front Raise (alternating)

Video coming soon...

The elastics front raise (alternating) workout is a shoulder-focused exercise that utilizes elastic bands.

Elastics provide resistance throughout the movement, targeting the front deltoids and upper chest muscles.

This exercise primarily engages the shoulders, helping to build strength and improve overall shoulder stability.

While it may also involve some activation of the biceps and triceps, the main emphasis is on the shoulders.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding an elastic band in both hands with an overhand grip.
Extend your arms straight in front of you, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise.
Slowly raise one arm up to shoulder height, while keeping the other arm extended in front of you.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, focusing on squeezing your shoulder muscles.
Lower your raised arm back down to the starting position, while simultaneously raising the other arm.
Continue alternating the raising and lowering of your arms, maintaining control and proper form.

Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the elastic bands in each hand with an overhand grip. Keep your arms extended in front of you, palms facing down.
Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button in towards your spine and maintaining a tall posture. This will help stabilize your body and prevent any unnecessary movement.
As you raise one arm up in front of you, keep your shoulder blades down and back, and focus on using your shoulder muscles to lift the elastic band. Imagine squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
Lower your arm back down slowly and with control, feeling the resistance of the elastic band as you return to the starting position. Avoid any jerky or sudden movements that could strain your muscles.
Alternate between raising each arm, maintaining a steady and controlled pace throughout the exercise. Visualize your shoulder muscles working hard with each repetition, and remember to breathe steadily throughout the movement.
