The next exercise I am going to show you is for your shoulders, deltoids. It is a little bit more of an advanced exercise, so I recommend this exercise for intermediate and advanced exercisers only. Okay, what I want you to do is place the tube under one foot only. You are going actually kneel on the ground. From here you want to make sure there is even resistance on both ends of the tube. Sit nice and tall, you are going to roll your shoulders back. Now this is the hard part, you are going to take your elbows and place them in front of the resistance tube. Once your elbows are in place your good to go. Keep your wrists in neutral. Abs in tight, and you want your elbows to be in front of your shoulders slightly to avoid any shoulder impingement or shoulder injuries. Now what you are going to do when set up is bring your arms up over head. Straighten, but don't lock out your elbows. It's not necessary, and lower back down to ninety degrees. Bring your arms up over head and lower back down to ninety degrees. It is not necessary to bring the handles together or to lower any lower than your shoulders. This just places more stress on the shoulder joint anytime and in time can lead to injuries. I recommend you leave your elbows in line with your shoulders and just press the handles straight up over head and back down. An effective great exercise for the shoulders.
