Instructions
1. Begin by standing upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms fully extended in front of you at shoulder height. Ensure your posture is straight, and your core is engaged.
2. Keeping your torso stable and facing forward, raise your right hand to gently tap your left shoulder. Your shoulders and hips should remain parallel to the ground as you perform the tap, avoiding any rotation in the torso.
3. Lower your right hand back to the starting position, extending it straight in front of you.
4. Now, perform the same motion with your left hand, raising it to gently tap your right shoulder.
5. Alternate the taps with each hand while maintaining proper form, keeping the opposite arm extended when one arm is tapping the shoulder.
6. Continue to alternate taps for a specified number of repetitions or for a set duration of time, maintaining controlled and deliberate movements throughout the exercise.
This exercise focuses on shoulder stability and endurance while also engaging the core to maintain balance and posture. It can be used as a warm-up or included in a bodyweight circuit for overall upper body conditioning.
