Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your spine in a neutral position and eyes looking forward.
2. Begin by raising your arms to the sides until they are parallel with the floor, with palms facing down.
3. Quickly move your hands behind your back and try to clap them together in a swift motion.
4. Without pausing, quickly return your arms back to the starting position, parallel to the floor.
5. Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining speed and precision with each clap.
Key Points: Stay on the balls of your feet to allow for quick movement. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged to stabilize your core throughout the exercise. Start slowly to get the movement pattern right before increasing the speed. Avoid overextending or locking the elbows when you bring your arms behind you. This exercise requires a good level of shoulder mobility and flexibility to perform correctly and safely.
