How to perform

  1. 1

    Stand up and extend your arms straight out by the sides. The arms should be parallel to the floor and perpendicular (90-degree angle) to your torso. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Slowly start to make circles of about 1 foot in diameter with each outstretched arm. Breathe normally as you perform the movement.

  3. 3

    Continue the circular motion of the outstretched arms for about ten seconds. Then reverse the movement, going the opposite direction.

Important tips

  • Brace your torso so your lower back stays neutral.

  • Move through the shoulder joint — never momentum.

  • Control the weight on the way down as much as up.
