Lying Arms Forward Circle (Shoulders)
Positioning:
Lie on your back on a flat surface, such as a mat or carpet.
Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
Extend your arms straight up towards the ceiling, with your palms facing each other.
Movement:
Start by keeping your arms straight and slowly move them forward in a wide circular motion.
As you circle your arms, engage your shoulders and avoid raising them towards your ears.
Complete a full circle with your arms, ensuring you maintain control throughout the movement.
Once you reach the starting position, reverse the motion and move your arms back in a circular pattern in the opposite direction.
Repeat the circles for 8 to 12 repetitions in each direction.
Tips:
Keep your core engaged to stabilize your body.
Breathe steadily throughout the exercise.
If you're new to this movement, start with smaller circles and gradually increase the size as you become more comfortable.
