How to do it

Keep your arms parallel to the floor for the entire set.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms extended out to the sides.

  2. 2

    Slowly rotate your arms in small circles, gradually increasing the size.

  3. 3

    Continue for the desired number of repetitions, then reverse the direction of the circles.

Expert tip

Keep your shoulders down and away from your ears to prevent tension in the neck.
