Use a resistance band that provides enough tension for you to complete 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions per shoulder exercise. Perform these exercises 3 times per week for optimal results.    EXERCISE #1: SHOULDER ABDUCTION TO 90 DEGREES  HOW TO: Stand on the band with your left foot while holding the band with your left hand. Keep your elbow straight, lift the band up to 90 degrees to shoulder level. Hold at the top for 1-2 seconds then lower slowly to starting position. Repeat with opposite side, aim for 10-15 reps on each side.  EXERCISE #2: EXTERNAL ROTATION  HOW TO:  Attach the resistance band to a secure anchor at belly button height. Stand perpendicular to the resistance band and grab it with your outside hand. Keep your elbow at your side then move the band away from your body by squeezing your shoulder blade in towards the middle of your back. You can place a towel between your elbow and your hip to help stabilize your elbow. Slowly return to starting position. Then repeat on the opposite side.
