These full-arm circles are designed to stretch and strengthen your full torso. You will be moving the torso on all planes, from wall to wall and from ceiling to floor.
1. Start with your legs in a comfortably wide stance, knees slightly bent.
2. Reach one arm up and imagine that you are drawing a large circle with your arm and torso, following a full circumference from ceiling to floor.
3. Stay relaxed throughout the movements—particularly relax your shoulders and elbows.
4. Focus on breathing deeply throughout the swings.
5. Don’t rush. Take your time to move carefully and fully control every movement.
6. Keep the movement controlled; never fling your body or use momentum as you do the circles.
7. Complete 4 large circles with each arm.
