Standing · Shoulders

Front Raise

Lifts the arms forward to work the front of the shoulders — the muscles you use to reach up to a shelf.

How to do it

  1. Stand on the middle of the EZband with feet hip-width apart, holding one side in each hand at your thighs, palms facing your legs.
  2. Keep your arms straight with a soft bend in the elbows.
  3. Raise both arms forward to shoulder height.
  4. Pause, then lower slowly.
  5. Do 8–10 reps.

Form tips

  • Stop at shoulder height — no higher.
  • Don't swing or lean back.
  • Keep your shoulders down and relaxed.

Using your EZband

Stand on the centre of the band. Use the Light band to start.

Beginner modifications

  • Raise one arm at a time.
  • Raise only to chest height.
  • Do it seated with the band under your feet.

Safety notes

  • Stop if you feel pinching at the top of the shoulder.
  • Keep the movement slow and controlled.
