How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Description: Sitting on a stability ball, secure an elastic band under one foot and hold the other end in the hand on the side of the shoulder to be worked. Slowly lift the arm sideways, keeping the elbow slightly bent, until reaching a comfortable maximum range, then gently lower it.

Tips: Keep your back straight and avoid shrugging the shoulder towards the ear. Control the movement well to avoid using momentum.
