How to do a arm swing
- Stand with feet hip-width apart and maintain a tall, neutral spine.
- Raise your arms to roughly chest height in front of you.
- Swing both arms horizontally across your chest so they cross over.
- Reverse the movement, swinging your arms back out to the sides.
- Continue swinging in a smooth, controlled rhythm without locking the elbows.
Form tips
- Keep your core braced and avoid twisting excessively through the torso.
- Maintain soft knees and relaxed shoulders throughout the swings.
- Control the momentum rather than letting your arms flail.
- Breathe steadily and keep the movement fluid.
