Instructions

Starting Position:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Engage your core muscles to maintain stability.
3. Raise your arms to shoulder height, bending your elbows so your forearms are perpendicular to the ground. Your palms should face towards you.

Movement Instructions:
1. From the starting position, gently push your elbows forward while keeping them bent, as if performing a push-up but with a focus on the elbows.
2. After extending your arms forward, slowly open your arms out to the sides, reaching to shoulder height while keeping your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle.
3. Bring your elbows back to the starting position, ensuring you do not lock out your elbows at the end of the movement.
4. Repeat the movement in a controlled manner, ensuring to maintain good posture throughout the exercise.

Tips:
- Keep your chest lifted and shoulders down away from your ears during the movement.
- Maintain tension in your core to support your lower back.
- Start with a small range of motion and gradually increase as your strength improves.

Repetitions: Aim for 10-15 repetitions, adjusting as needed based on your fitness level.
