The shoulder or deltoid is made up of three muscular heads: anterior (front), medial (middle), and posterior (rear). Each head plays a different role in how the shoulder moves. The shoulder press mainly works the anterior portion of the deltoid, but each head assists with the movement.
Start in a seated position with your feet placed firmly on the resistance tubing. Grasp the tubing handles and position them around the shoulder area. Keep your forearms straight and your hands at ear level. Next, press the bands over your head. The arms should extend just short of locking the elbows. Slowly lower the bands back to the starting position and repeat the movement. You should exhale as the arms go up.
