Opposite arm circles

Technique

1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and make large vertical circles with your straight arms.
2. Rotate one arm forward while the other rotates backward.
3. Switch directions; each rotation counts as one repetition.

Form tips

1. Reach all the way behind with each arm.
2. The coordination takes a few attempts to learn: start slowly.
3. Avoid arching your back when the arms go behind.
