Instructions

Standing Single Arm Circle on a Wall

1. Starting Position:
- Stand side-on to a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Position yourself a few inches away from the wall.
- Your feet should be flat on the ground, and your body should be straight.

2. Arm Positioning:
- Extend the arm that is closest to the wall straight out in front of you.
- Ensure your shoulder is relaxed and down, away from your ear.

3. Movement:
- Slowly move your extended arm in a circular motion while keeping it straight.
- Start with small circles and gradually increase the size of the circle.
- Perform the motion for about 30 seconds, focusing on maintaining control and stability.

4. Breathing:
- Breathe steadily throughout the exercise. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

5. Switching Sides:
- After completing the set time, lower your arm and switch to the other side, repeating the same movement.

6. Cool Down:
- Finish by gently shaking out your arms and taking a few deep breaths to relax.

Tips:
- Keep your core engaged to maintain balance.
- Avoid arching your back; keep your torso straight.
- If you feel any discomfort or pain, stop the exercise and consult a professional.

Make sure to perform this exercise in a safe environment free from obstacles.
