- Lower your arms back to the starting position with control, keeping them straight and at shoulder height.
- Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a smooth and controlled motion.
Form tips
- Focus on steady breathing, inhaling as you lift your arms and exhaling as you lower them.
- Ensure your shoulders stay relaxed and away from your ears to avoid unnecessary tension.
- Keep your movements smooth and controlled and avoid using momentum.
