SIT, STAND LATERAL RAISE
This full-body move builds power in your legs and the tops of your shoulders. Start off seated in a sturdy chair with the band under your feet and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands in the last loops (or grasp the ends of the band) and place your elbows by your sides with your arms bent at a 90-degree angle (A). Roll your shoulders back and engage your core: gently tilt your pelvis towards your belly button and brace your stomach muscles as if for impact. Push through your heels to stand as you simultaneously raise your elbows to the sides and lift your hands up to the front of your chest; stop when your elbows and fists are at shoulder height
(B). Keep your weight in your heels, your chin up and your torso tall as you lower back down to sit (A). Repeat.
