Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your arms extended out to your sides at shoulder height. Ensure your palms are facing down to start.
2. Keeping your arms straight, quickly flip your hands so your palms face upwards, feeling a contraction in your shoulders and the muscles around your shoulder blades.
3. Quickly flip your palms back to the starting position.
4. Repeat this motion continuously for a set number of repetitions or for a specific duration.
5. Rest briefly then perform additional sets as desired.
Tips: - Keep your shoulders down and relaxed to avoid tension in your neck. - Perform the slices at a consistent and controlled pace to maintain tension on the muscles. - Focus on engaging the muscles in your upper back and shoulders throughout the exercise. - Maintain good posture during the exercise with your chest up and core engaged. - This exercise can be a good warm-up for the shoulders before engaging in more intense upper-body workouts, as it promotes blood flow and flexibility in those areas.
