How to Perform

  1. 1

    Hold a light resistance band with both hands at shoulder width.

  2. 2

    Start with the band in front of your body at hip height.

  3. 3

    Raise one arm overhead while the other stays low, following a figure-8 pattern.

  4. 4

    Rotate your torso slightly to allow the arm to pass behind you.

  5. 5

    Keep the movement smooth - no clunking or grinding in the shoulder.

  6. 6

    Let the scapula glide naturally across the rib cage.

  7. 7

    Take the path of least resistance through any tight spots.

  8. 8

    Control the band with strength - avoid passive stretching.

  9. 9

    Alternate arms, flowing continuously through the figure-8 pattern.

  10. 10

    Perform 10-20 reps per side. Use a lighter band if needed.
