Adaptive Exercises Arm Raises Transcript

Elizabeth: Arm raises can be done in many ways, with or without weights. Lindsey is using two pound dumbbells and lifting them above her head from her shoulder, trying to keep her elbow as close to her ear as she can. When you are doing these exercises, remember to keep your shoulders down, don’t shrug them, and also keep your neck straight and look forward so you don’t strain your neck.

Lindsey: Here we have Clark and Larry also doing arm raises with resistance bands. Clark has tied his resistance band to his chair and he is using a twisting motion to be able to lift his arm out to the side. Larry is doing straight-armed lateral raises, keeping his shoulders out of his ears, and his arms straight as possible as he lifts them both out to the side, making a T with his arms.
