Overhead Press with Resistance Bands is an effective shoulder exercise that activates the shoulder muscles, triceps, and upper back. By using a resistance band, you receive resistance throughout the entire movement, making this exercise ideal for building strength and stability in the upper body.

Proper Execution and Technique

Here's how to perform the Overhead Press with Resistance Bands with the correct technique:

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, and place the resistance band under your feet to create stability.
2. Hold the ends of the band with your hands directly above your shoulders, with elbows pointing down towards the floor.
3. Inhale, and press your arms up over your head until fully extended. Maintain control over the movement and avoid arching your back.
4. Exhale, and slowly lower your hands back to the starting position, focusing on keeping your core tight throughout the movement.

Remember to maintain a stable core and avoid swinging your body to lift the band. This will help you focus on your shoulders.
