    Band Shoulder Press

    The band shoulder press is a resistance exercise targeting the deltoid muscles of the shoulders, using a resistance band for added tension. It also engages the tricep and upper back as secondary muscles. The movement involves pressing the band overhead from shoulder height, making it a fundamental strength exercise for the upper body.
