Instructions
Standing Elbow Together Scoop
Starting Position:
Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged.
Arm Positioning:
Raise both arms in front of you to shoulder height.
Bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle, bringing your forearms parallel to the ground with palms facing each other.
Movement:
As you inhale, slowly bring your elbows together in front of your chest while squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Your forearms should form a "scoop" shape as they move closer to your body.
Returning to Start:
Exhale while returning your arms to the starting position, maintaining the same elbow angle.
Ensure your movements are controlled and deliberate, feeling the stretch in your chest and arms.
Repetition:
Perform 10-15 repetitions.
Focus on maintaining proper posture throughout the exercise.
Tips:
Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid raising them towards your ears.
Maintain a steady breathing pattern: inhale during the movement in and exhale while returning to start.
If you feel strain in your shoulders, adjust the height of your arms or reduce the number of repetitions.
