Arm Circles

Shoulder warm-up, dynamic

Full body dynamic

How to

Standing with arms extended out to the sides at shoulder height, make small circles with your arms, gradually increasing the size before reversing direction.

Benefits

  • Warms up the shoulder joints before activity, rather than statically stretching them
  • Increases blood flow to the upper body quickly
  • A staple warm-up movement in most sports and fitness routines

Practice

20-30 seconds in each direction, keeping the motion smooth and controlled rather than fast and loose.
