(Primary muscles: rotator cuff)

Standing with good posture, hold your rubber band so your hands are a little narrower than shoulder width apart and your elbows are beside your waist at approximately a 90-degree angle. Keeping your elbows stationary, slowly rotate your hands outward as far as you can. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat. This should be felt deep in your shoulders.
