Start by standing straight with your feet shoulder width apart. Your arms should be straight out to the sides, so that your body forms a T. Slowly start by making small circular motions with both arms on either side. After a few repetitions of small circles, enlarge your circles and do the same amount of reps.
Your end position should look the same as the start position. Breathe in and out, and release arms to the side of the body.
Notes:
Special Tip: Try changing the size of arm circles for different reps.
