How to do it

  1. Loop a mini band around both wrists and stand with arms at your sides.
  2. Keep one arm anchored and raise the other out to the side to shoulder height against the band.
  3. Lower it under control back to your side.
  4. Switch and repeat, alternating arms each rep.

The one cue that matters

Keep the anchor arm still so the working arm fights the full band tension.
