How to do the Arm Circles

1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart and stretch your arms straight out to the sides.
2. Draw small forward circles with both arms, gradually letting the circles get bigger as the joints loosen.
3. At the halfway point, reverse the direction and spin the circles backward with the same control.

Tips

• Keep shoulders relaxed away from your ears while you move.
• Move at a steady tempo so the rotator cuff muscles have time to engage.

Adjustments

• Bend your elbows slightly and keep the circles smaller if the shoulders feel tight.
