Arm Position: Raise your arms straight above your head with your palms facing each other. Keep your elbows slightly bent.
Movement:
Slowly bring your arms down to shoulder height while keeping your elbows bent at about a 90-degree angle. Your forearms should be parallel to the floor.
Press your arms back up to the starting position, straightening them overhead. Focus on engaging your back muscles during this movement.

Repetitions: Perform this movement for 10-15 repetitions, concentrating on maintaining good posture and control throughout.

Tips:
Ensure that your neck remains relaxed and that you do not strain it during the movement.
If needed, you can use a yoga mat for comfort while sitting.
