Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
2. Engage your core to stay balanced and maintain your posture during the movement.
3. Begin by swinging your arms at your sides, with one arm extending fully upwards while the other arm is brought down by your side.
4. Quickly alternate the position of your arms in a controlled but swift manner, maintaining a rhythmic pace. Your arms should pass by each other in the middle of the movement pathway.
5. Try not to tense up your shoulders; keep the movement fluid.
6. Continue this arm-swinging motion for the predetermined amount of time, focusing on speed and maintaining form.
This exercise can serve as a light cardiovascular activity that warms up the muscles in the arms and shoulders, while also slightly elevating the heart rate. It is generally easy to perform and requires no equipment, making it suitable for a wide range of fitness levels.
