How to do Band Front Raise

The band front raise is an exercise targeting the deltoid muscles of the shoulders. It is performed by standing on a resistance band and raising the arms straight in front of the body to shoulder height, then lowering them back down. This movement helps build shoulder strength and stability, with secondary activation of the triceps and upper back.
