Movement notes
- To begin, stand so that your arms are at arm's length. Lift your hands so that they are at shoulder height at each side.
- Rotate the wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing forward. Your elbows should be bent, with the upper arms and forearms in line to the torso. This is your starting position.
- As you exhale, lift your hands up until your arms are fully extended overhead.
