Benefits: This exercise helps to open up and tone tight shoulder and upper back muscles.
Note: You don’t need to try to make the circles too big. The joints shouldn’t click or feel strained, and your shoulders shouldn’t hunch. Imagine you are oiling the insides of the shoulder joints.
1. Put both hands on the shoulders and stretch the elbows forward.
2. Inhale and lift the elbows to your shoulder’s height.
3. Make a large circular motion and rotate them slowly one time. Exhale as you bring the elbows down.
4. Repeat six times front to back and six times back to front.
