Standing Alternate Arms Circling
Equipment
Start moving your right arm in a forward circular motion while your left arm moves in a backward circular motion.
Make sure to keep your arms straight and the circles about a foot in diameter.
After about 30 seconds, switch directions: your right arm should now move in a backward circular motion and your left arm in a forward circular motion.
Continue alternating the direction of the arm circles for your desired number of sets or time period.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movements: While performing the exercise, ensure your movements are slow, controlled and deliberate. Avoid rapid or jerky movements, which can strain your muscles or lead to injuries. The focus should be on the quality of the movement, not the speed. Full Arm Rotation: Make sure to perform full arm rotations. Half rotations can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Your arm should move in a complete circle, starting from your shoulder. Keep Your Core Engaged: While your arms are doing the work, don't forget about your core. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged throughout the exercise. This will help maintain balance and stability, as well as work your core muscles.
