Instructions

Underhand Circle Draw for Shoulders

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Keep your arms relaxed at your sides.

    • Engage your core for stability.

  2. Arm Positioning:

    • Extend your arms out in front of you at shoulder height.

    • Palms should face upward (underhand grip).

  3. Movement:

    • Begin to draw small circles in the air with your hands, making sure to keep your arms straight.

    • Move your arms in a circular motion forward for about 10-15 seconds.

    • Maintain a controlled and smooth motion.

  4. Reverse Direction:

    • After completing the forward circles, switch directions.

    • Now draw small circles backward for another 10-15 seconds.

  5. Breathing:

    • Inhale deeply through your nose as you prepare to start.

    • Exhale gently as you perform the circular movements.

  6. Repetitions:

    • Aim to complete 2-3 sets of forward and backward circles.

  7. Cool Down:

    • Gently lower your arms and shake them out to release any tension.

Tips:

  • Keep a soft bend in your elbows to avoid strain.

  • Focus on moving from your shoulders rather than your wrists.

  • Ensure that your circles are small and controlled for best results.
