Exercise Description

Arm circles warm up your shoulders and improve blood flow before workouts. This simple movement gets your shoulder joints ready for action and helps prevent injury.

How To

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and extend your arms straight out to the sides 2. Keep your arms parallel to the floor and make small circles with your arms 3. Start with forward arm circles for 10-15 reps, keeping the movement controlled 4. Reverse direction and do backward arm circles for another 10-15 reps 5. Gradually increase circle size as your shoulders warm up during the arm circles exercise

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight and shoulders relaxed during arm circles • Start small and gradually make bigger circles as you warm up • Don't rush the movement - controlled circles work better than fast ones • Keep your arms straight and parallel to the ground throughout the arm circles

Common Mistakes

• Making circles too big too fast before your shoulders are warmed up • Tensing up your neck and shoulders instead of staying relaxed during arm circles • Moving too quickly and losing control of the circular motion
