Overhead Presses with Exercise Bands

Video Transcript

"Okay, for this clip we're going to do an Overhead Press while we're seated on the stability ball. You notice I have my band underneath. You want to make sure it's nice and secure underneath your glutes. You want to have an even amount of your band on either side, so you can have an even overhead press. Okay, what you're going to do is make sure your stable. Feet flat on the ground, back nice and straight. Exhale and bring your arms overhead, extending without locking out the elbows. So you're going to exhale up, and inhale down. Remember you want to choose the correct resistance for this exercise because shoulders are very challenging, and a lot of people don't work them as much as they should, so may need to use a lighter resistance than they thought. Okay, now another option for this if that's a little bit too much, let this band go. You can hold unto it for support, just to be sure that it doesn't go anywhere. You can do one arm at a time. Then you can really focus on that one arm and that one shoulder, help increase the strength. Then you can switch to the one arm."
