How to perform Arm Circles

1

Stand up and extend your arms straight out by the sides. The arms should be parallel to the floor and perpendicular (90-degree angle) to your torso. This will be your starting position.

2

Slowly start to make circles of about 1 foot in diameter with each outstretched arm. Breathe normally as you perform the movement.

3

Continue the circular motion of the outstretched arms for about ten seconds. Then reverse the movement, going the opposite direction.
