Arm Circles

How to do it

  1. Stand tall with the feet shoulder width apart and the arms extended straight out to the sides.
  2. Begin rotating both arms in small circles, keeping the shoulders down away from the ears.
  3. Gradually widen the circles to a comfortable maximum size as the shoulders loosen.
  4. Continue circling in one direction for the set number of rotations.
  5. Reverse the direction of the circles once the first set is complete.
  6. Keep the torso still and upright throughout, avoiding swinging the body to add momentum to the arms.
