This exercise is going to target the middle deltoid, or sometimes you'll hear it called the lateral deltoid. With this exercise, you'll need to step on the tube. When you place one foot on the tube, it'll give you some resistance. If you place 2 feet, it'll give you more resistance. If you separate your feet, you're going to get a lot of resistance. I'm going to start at the easiest level. Place my foot in the center of the tube. Make sure it's securely under my foot and put all my weight on that forward leg. Bring my shoulders back, thumbs turned out to the side, and this is called a lateral raise. Lifting out directly out to the side, or perhaps at a little bit of an angle forward would be appropriate as well. We're targeting the middle deltoid. I can go unilaterally, which just again, means one arm at a time until I fatigue that muscle group. Then I can switch to the other side, or we can do both arms at once. It's not going to take very long until you feel fatigue in the muscle group. Again, it doesn't matter how many repetitions you do. You really want to take each muscle group to the point of fatigue.
