# Upward Rotation Bent Arms

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms bent at 90 degrees with your upper arms parallel to the floor, and your forearms pointing down to the floor.

## How to do it

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms bent at 90 degrees with your upper arms parallel to the floor, and your forearms pointing down to the floor.
2. Rotate your forearms upwards until your fingers point towards the ceiling, keeping your upper arms stationary.
3. Slowly rotate them back to the starting position.
4. Repeat for the desired repetitions

## Form tips

- Focus on using your shoulder muscles to rotate your arms, avoiding excessive use of your neck or back.
- Keep your upper arms stationary throughout the movement to ensure proper form.
- Lift your arms as high as comfortable, to avoid unnecessary strain on your shoulder joints.
