Step 1

Starting Position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Focus on bringing your shoulders back and then down. Almost like you’re trying to squeeze your scapulae together.

Step 3

With your arms straight out at your sides, you can begin to rotate them forwards in small circles. Think about trying to draw a circle slightly large enough for your arm to fit through. Perform this exercise for the predetermined amount of times

Step 2

Upward Phase: With your shoulders back and down, focus on maintaining that posture while lifting your arms straight out to your sides at shoulder height.

Pro Tip

Ensure you continue to breathe while circling your arms. It sounds simplistic but can be equally as easy to forget about. Also ensure those shoulders stay back and down. If such becomes challenging, make your circles larger and then work your way back to the smaller rotations
