1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms relaxed by your sides.
2. Slowly raise your arms out to the sides and then overhead, keeping your arms as straight as possible without locking the elbows.
3. Once your arms are overhead, reverse the motion and circle them back down to your sides.
4. Perform this motion in a controlled manner for the desired number of reps or time duration.
5. After completing a set moving your arms in one direction, change the direction of your arm circles and perform the same number of reps or for the same duration.
6. Focus on maintaining good posture with your chest up and core engaged throughout the movement.
7. Perform the desired number of sets, allowing a short rest in between if needed.
This exercise is beneficial for warming up the shoulders and upper body before engaging in more intense physical activity, improving mobility and flexibility, and can also provide a mild aerobic benefit if performed continuously over a longer period.
