Band Shrug

Description

Stand on top of an exercise band with both feet using a shoulder-width stance or wider. Hold the handles of the band with a neutral grip with your arms extended down at the sides of your thighs. Contract your traps to shrug your shoulders up as high as possible holding the top position for a second as you contract your traps. Slowly lower your shoulders and repeat for reps. The wider you stand on the band, the greater the resistance will be. You may need to knot the band to make it shorter for adequate resistance on this exercise. You can also use multiple bands to increase the resistance.
