Description

Circling the joints is an essential warm-up exercise and should always be performed before starting training. The joints are supplied with synovial fluid (lubricated), which reduces the risk of injury. It also warms up the surrounding muscles and stimulates blood circulation. Circling your arms warms up the shoulder joint.

Exercise

Circle your arms

Keep your back straight and breathe slowly and evenly. Start with small circles and make larger and larger circles as the exercise progresses. Perform the exercise in both directions.
