Banded front raise

Target: Shoulders, chest

Form tips:

• Stand with chest and eyes forward, and glutes and core engaged.
• Hold the band with an overhand grip, your palm facing down.
• Keeping your arm straight, raise it up until it's horizontal to the floor.
• Lock down your shoulders – they shouldn't shrug up as you raise your arm.
• If you're struggling to raise your arm, step back closer to the anchor point to create more slack in the band.

Modification – Plate front raise:

• Switch out the band to perform a front raise with a lighter weight plate or dumbbell. If you stick with raising one arm at a time, start with a light dumbbell.
