How to do it
Make each arm circle as wide and round as your mobility comfortably allows.
- 1
Stand with your back against a wall, feet shoulder-width apart.
- 2
Extend your arms to the sides at shoulder height, palms facing forward.
- 3
Slowly move your arms in a circular motion, touching your hands above your head and then lowering them back to the starting position.

Perform the motion in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Maintain a strong core throughout the movement to stabilize your body and prevent arching of the lower back.
