Alternating Standing Elbow Arm-Cross & Lift

1. Starting Position:
- Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
- Engage your core and keep your back straight.
- Extend your arms out in front of you at shoulder height, with your palms facing down.

2. Arm Cross Movement:
- Cross your right arm over your left arm while keeping both arms straight.
- Your hands should be in front of your chest, feeling a gentle stretch in your shoulders.

3. Elbow Lift:
- While your arms are crossed, bend your elbows and lift your arms towards your shoulders, creating a "W" shape with your arms.
- Hold this position for a moment.

4. Return to Starting Position:
- Extend your arms back out in front of you, returning to the initial position with your arms straight and parallel to the floor.
- Cross your left arm over your right arm.

5. Repeat:
- Bend your elbows and lift your arms again, maintaining the "W" shape.
- Continue alternating the arm crossing and elbow lift for desired repetitions or duration.

Tips:
- Keep movements controlled to avoid straining your shoulders.
- Maintain good posture throughout the exercise.
- Breathe steadily, inhaling as you cross your arms and exhaling as you lift your elbows.
