Instructions
Starting Position:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Keep your knees slightly bent.
Position your arms at a 90-degree angle at your elbows, with your hands near your shoulders.
Engage Your Core:
Tighten your abdominal muscles to maintain stability throughout the movement.
Movement:
Slowly bring your right elbow towards your chest while slightly leaning your torso to the left.
As you do this, keep your other elbow in place, maintaining the 90-degree angle.
Return to the starting position and repeat the movement, this time bringing your left elbow towards your chest and leaning slightly to the right.
Repetitions:
Perform 10-15 repetitions on each side, maintaining a controlled movement to avoid any sudden jerks.
Breathing:
Inhale as you prepare for the movement and exhale as you bring your elbow towards your chest.
Cool Down:
After completing your repetitions, take a moment to stretch your arms and back to release any tension.
Remember to keep your movements slow and controlled, focusing on the engagement of your muscles.
