Shoulder press with the Theraband while sitting
A common approach is to practice seated shoulder presses with a Theraband. Here you will find detailed information on how to assume the correct posture and execute the movement optimally.
Body position
Start by taking a chair or stool. Place the Theraband over the chair and sit in the middle of it. Your legs are hip-width apart on the floor in front of you. Keep your upper body upright. The lower back should assume a slight hollow position. Then grab the ends of the Theraband and hold them firmly.
Movement execution
First, raise your arms until the forearm and upper arm form a right angle next to your body. The Theraband should already be under tension. To initiate the shoulder press, exhale and extend your arms upward. Ensure that your elbows are not fully extended. Inhale and return to the starting position.
