This exercise is Resistance Band Shoulder Flexion and its aim is to strengthen the muscles on the front of your shoulder.
Start by tying the band to a solid object in your house, such as the bannisters on your stairs or a door handle. With your back to the anchor point of the band, grip the other end of the band and push it away from yourself in a punching motion. Your torso and the rest of your body should remain static and offer a strong base, whilst your shoulder joint produces the movement. You may find it more comfortable having the band between your arm and torso when doing the exercise, instead of on the outside of your shoulder.
This exercise can be completed in sitting or standing. You can make this exercise harder by increasing the distance you are standing from the anchor point, increasing the reps performed, or increasing the level of resistance of the band.
Equally to make it easier you can stand closer to the anchor point, reduce the amount of reps performed, or reduce the level of resistance of the band.
Follow the advice in your free rehabilitation programme from our website for the suggested number of reps and sets you need to perform.
