Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Keep your knees slightly bent and your back straight.

    • Relax your shoulders and let your arms hang naturally at your sides.

  2. Arm Positioning:

    • Raise both arms in front of you, bending at the elbows to form a 90-degree angle, bringing your elbows close together in front of your chest.

    • Ensure your palms are facing each other.

  3. Movement:

    • From the elbow position, extend both arms outward and upward simultaneously, straightening your arms as you do so.

    • Your arms should move outward away from your body, as if throwing something to the sides.

    • Keep your core engaged to maintain balance and control.

  4. Return:

    • Slowly bring your arms back down to the starting elbow position.

    • Make sure to control the movement and avoid any sudden jerks.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Aim to perform 10-15 repetitions.

    • Focus on smooth, controlled movements throughout the exercise.

  6. Breath:

    • Inhale as you extend your arms outward and upward.

    • Exhale as you bring your arms back to the starting position.

  7. Tips:

    • Keep your movements fluid and steady to avoid strain.

    • If needed, take breaks between sets to maintain good form.

    • Adjust the intensity by increasing or decreasing the number of repetitions.
