Arm circles

Circle your arms forward and backward to warm up the shoulder joints and upper back.

How to do it

1. 01Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
2. 02Make small circles with your arms, gradually growing them into big circles.
3. 03Halfway through, reverse the direction.
4. 04Keep a light brace, relaxed shoulders and steady breathing.

Common mistakes

• Shrugging — keep your shoulders down and relaxed.
• Arching the back on big circles — lightly brace so your torso stays still.
