How to do it

Count three seconds up and three seconds down to keep the movement smooth.

  1. 1

    Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a towel taut with both hands at thigh level.

  2. 2

    With arms slightly bent, raise your arms out to the sides, keeping tension on the towel, until they are parallel to the floor.

  3. 3

    Hold the position briefly, then slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Focus on maintaining tension in the towel throughout the exercise to engage the shoulder muscles effectively.
