Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart, about shoulder-width.

    • Keep your core engaged and shoulders relaxed.

  2. Hand Positioning:

    • Bring your hands together in front of your chest in a prayer position (palms touching).

    • Ensure your elbows are slightly bent and pointing outwards.

  3. Movement Sequence:

    • From the prayer position, lift your hands upwards while keeping them together. Extend them straight above your head.

    • As you reach the top, clap your hands together once, ensuring your palms touch.

  4. Return to Starting Position:

    • Lower your hands back down to the prayer position in front of your chest.

    • Maintain control of the movement as you descend.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Repeat this movement for 10-15 repetitions, focusing on smooth transitions and controlled movements.

  6. Breathing:

    • Inhale as you raise your hands and clap overhead.

    • Exhale as you lower them back to the prayer position.

  7. Tips for Beginners:

    • Start slowly to master the movement before increasing speed.

    • Keep your gaze forward and maintain a straight posture throughout the exercise.
