Sitting Elbow Clap on a Chair

Positioning:
1. Sit on the edge of the chair with your feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart.
2. Keep your back straight and engage your core.
3. Place your hands together in front of your chest, with your palms pressed together and elbows bent.

Movement:
1. Inhale deeply, raising your hands above your head while keeping the palms together. Extend your elbows fully.
2. Exhale and bring your hands back down to the starting position, keeping your elbows at shoulder height.
3. Clap your elbows together in front of your chest as your hands come down.
4. Repeat this movement for 10-15 repetitions, maintaining a steady and controlled pace.

Tips:
