Instructions
Start the exercise: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms extended out to the sides at shoulder height.
Perform the motion: Keeping your arms straight and palms facing downward, swing your arms forward in a controlled motion until your hands nearly touch in front of you.
Contract muscles: Pause briefly as your hands are about to touch, contracting your chest and deltoid muscles.
Return to start: Reverse the motion, returning your arms back out to the sides to the starting position.
Maintain elbow position: Maintain a slight bend in the elbow throughout the movement to avoid hyperextension.
Exercise consistency: Perform the exercise for the recommended sets and repetitions, ensuring to keep the motion controlled and avoid using momentum.
