How to do it

Keep your gaze aimed at the floor about two feet ahead of you.

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hinge forward at the hips, keeping a slight bend in your knees.

  2. 2

    Let your arms hang straight down from your shoulders.

  3. 3

    Swing your arms forward and up to shoulder height, then back and up as far as you can comfortably go.

  4. 4

    Continue this pendulum motion for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your core engaged and back flat to prevent any unnecessary strain on your lower back.
