Sometimes we use some fitness equipment to help us train certain parts of the body. We often use barbells and dumbbells, but many people find that these fitness equipment may injure themselves. In fact, we can also use elastic bands to help ourselves train. So do you know what exercises there are for shoulder exercises with elastic bands? Let’s go take a look below!
Action 1: Standing elastic band press
Exercise target: anterior and middle deltoid muscles< /p>
Step on the middle position of the elastic band with both feet, or the elastic band is fixed at the back and lower part of the body. Spread your legs as wide as your shoulders, bend your knees slightly, straighten your back, tighten your core, and hold an elastic band in each hand. At both ends, bend your arms at the elbows and raise them to shoulder height.
Keep your body stable and your back straight. Use your deltoid muscles to push your arms upward and straighten them (elbows slightly bent).
Pause at the top of the movement, contract your deltoid muscles, and then actively control the speed and slowly bend your elbows to restore.
Action 2: Standing elastic band pull-up
Exercise target: anterior deltoid, middle deltoid and trapezius
Stand with your legs slightly apart, step on the middle of the elastic band, straighten your back, tighten your core, sink your shoulders, and hold an elastic band in each hand hanging down in front of your body.
Keep the body stable, use the force of the deltoid muscles to drive the arms to bend the elbows and lift them upward until the elbows are slightly higher than the shoulders, and the forearms are slightly lower than the upper arms. Do not shrug your shoulders.
Pause at the top, contract the deltoid muscles, and then control the speed and slowly lower it back down.
Action 3: Standing elastic band lateral raise
Exercise target: middle deltoid muscle
Stand with legs slightly apart , step on the middle part of the elastic band with both feet, keep your back straight, tighten your core, sink your shoulders, lean your upper body slightly forward, hold both ends of the elastic band in each hand and hang it in front of your body, and bend your elbows slightly.
Keep your body stable, keep your back straight, keep your elbows slightly bent, and use your deltoid muscles to drive your arms to the sides and upwards.
Until the upper arm reaches shoulder height, pause at the top and contract the deltoid muscles.
Then actively control the speed and slowly restore it, being careful not to let your arms fall passively.
