A neck exercise targeting the traps, performed with band.
How to do band shrug
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place the band under your feet, holding the ends with your hands.
Keep your arms straight and relaxed, and let the band hang in front of your thighs.
Engage your traps by shrugging your shoulders upward, lifting the band as high as possible.
Hold the contraction for a moment, then slowly lower your shoulders back down to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
