Hold the band handles with an overhand grip (palms facing downward) and let them hang in front of your body. This is your starting position. Raise the handles straight up to the level of your shoulders, keeping the handles close together. Your elbows should flare out to the sides. Exhale during this movement. Lower the handles to the starting position. Inhale during this movement. Hold the exercise band handles with an overhand grip (palms facing downward) and let them hang in front of your body. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
