How to do it

  1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended down to your sides, palms facing your torso.

  2. Lift your arms overhead, bringing your palms together in a clapping motion.

  3. Lower your arms back to the starting position with control, keeping them straight and at shoulder height.

  4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a smooth and controlled motion.

Form tips

  • Focus on steady breathing, inhaling as you lift your arms and exhaling as you lower them.

  • Ensure your shoulders stay relaxed and away from your ears to avoid unnecessary tension.

  • Keep your movements smooth and controlled and avoid using momentum.
