What Front Raise (Band) trains
Technique
How to do the Front Raise (Band)
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, placing the resistance band under both feet. Hold a handle in each hand with your arms extended down in front of your thighs, palms facing your body.
- Keeping your arms straight, raise the handles forward and upward until they reach shoulder height.
- Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the handles back to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Ensure the resistance band is securely placed under your feet to avoid slipping.
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbows to reduce strain on the joints.
- Avoid leaning back or swinging; keep your core engaged for stability.
- Exhale as you raise the handles and inhale as you lower them.
