4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Move your shoulders slowly and with control to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
• Breathe steadily, exhaling as you complete each circle and inhaling as you start the next.
• Avoid using momentum to move your shoulders; focus on using your shoulder muscles.
