Arm Swings (Vertical)

How to do it

1. Stand tall with your feet about hip width apart and your knees softly bent.
2. Let both arms hang straight down at your sides with the palms facing in toward your body.
3. Brace your core lightly, then use your shoulders to swing both arms forward and up together to about shoulder height.
4. Let the shoulders reverse the swing, carrying the arms back down and behind your body as far as is comfortable.
5. Keep your breathing steady and the tempo smooth and rhythmic for the set number of swings.
6. Keep your torso quiet and upright, avoiding any rocking of the body forward and back with the momentum of the arms.
