How to do it

  1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed, hanging straight down by your sides.

  2. Begin by making small circular motions with your shoulders, moving them backward in a controlled manner.

  3. Gradually increase the size of the circles, maintaining a steady pace.

  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Move your shoulders slowly and with control to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.

  • Breathe steadily, exhaling as you complete each circle and inhaling as you start the next.

  • Avoid using momentum to move your shoulders; focus on using your shoulder muscles.
