Beginner Front Shoulders Traps Strength Resistance Tube Fitness Ball Pull Gym
Purpose: This exercise strengthens the front deltoid muscle area.
Benefits: This exercise isolates the anterior delt muscle.
Obtain two resistance tubes of equal resistance and attach them to the sides of the fitness ball. Sit on the fitness ball and hold the resistance tube handles with an overhand grip in front of your body (palms facing towards your body). Your arms should be parallel. This is the starting position. Keeping your shoulders down (do not shrug them) and your elbows slightly bent, raise the handles straight up toward shoulder level. As the handles reach shoulder level, rotate them as if you are pouring water from a pitcher to increase the effectiveness of the exercise. Exhale during this movement. Lower the handles slowly to the starting position. Inhale during this movement. Hold the resistance tube handles with an overhand grip in front of your body (palms facing towards your body). Your arms should be parallel. Repeat for the required number of repetitions.
