Group 2

Detailed Movement Guide:
  1. Begin by aligning your body in a seated position, ensuring your spine remains erect and shoulders are drawn back slightly to promote optimal postural alignment.
  2. Focus on your dominant arm. Engage the muscles in your shoulder, specifically aiming to activate the deltoid muscle group for initial lift-off.
  3. Initiate the upward movement by smoothly elevating your arm at the shoulder joint, ensuring the motion is controlled and deliberate. Your arm should move in a vertical plane parallel to your body, minimizing lateral displacement.
  4. As your arm ascends, keep your elbow joint extended, allowing your arm to straighten fully. This action should be synchronized with a gentle contraction of your triceps brachii to support the extension.
  5. Continue the elevation until your hand is positioned above your head, with your palm facing forward and your fingers extended upwards, achieving an alignment where your arm is perpendicular to the floor.
  6. Ensure that throughout this motion, your wrist remains in a neutral position, avoiding excessive flexion or extension to maintain a straight line from your shoulder to your fingertips.
  7. Once at the apex of the movement, your entire arm should be stationary in the raised position for a moment, allowing for visual confirmation of the completed action.
  8. Maintain this posture momentarily, ensuring stability and control, before gently returning your arm to the starting position at your side.
