Training your delts is a fundamental part of strengthening and trimming your shoulders. Whether you are a workout enthusiast or creating your first training plan, the exercises below will help you meet your fitness goals.
resistance band seated shoulder press
1. Begin by sitting down on a flat bench or chair with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
2. Place the resistance band under your feet, ensuring it's centered so that each end is an equal length.
3. Hold the ends of the resistance band in each hand. Your hands should be at shoulder level with your palms facing forward. This is your starting position.
4. Press your hands upward until your arms are fully extended, keeping your back straight and your core engaged. Ensure that you are pushing directly upwards, not outwards or inwards.
5. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower your hands back down to the starting position.
6. Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions.
Remember to keep your movements controlled, don't let the band snap back quickly. The resistance should be felt in your deltoid muscles, located in your shoulders. If the exercise feels too easy, you can increase the resistance by either shortening the band or using a band with a higher resistance level. If it's too hard, do the opposite.
