This next clip is going to be a One Armed Raise. So to control the resistance you can place the band underneath the instep of your foot. Okay. You can just raise straight up, palm down, slight bend in the elbow making sure that the arm doesn't extend above the shoulder level. Sinking in, keeping the knees slightly bent, back nice and straight, exhaling up, and bringing it down. This is probably the most basic way to do this exercise. Of course, you can switch legs. You're controlling the resistance by how much of the band is showing. So the more of the band that is showing, the easier it's going to be. The less of the band that is showing, the more challenging it's going to be. Now if you're not feeling too secure about having it under the base of your shoe, one thing you can do is you can attach it to the bottom of a stable base. So make sure that feel confident that it's not going to be going anywhere. Remember you can loop it around several times if this isn't enough or go to another level. Same thing, overhand grip, make sure it's nice and stable, bend your knees slightly. Okay and bring it up.
