How to do a shoulder car
- Kneel on a mat with your hips stacked over your knees and torso upright.
- Brace your core and keep your arms relaxed at your sides.
- Slowly raise one arm forward and upward, drawing the largest circle you can with control.
- Continue the circle overhead and behind you, keeping the movement smooth.
- Bring the arm back down to the start, then repeat on the opposite side.
- Complete all reps on each shoulder, moving slowly through the full range.
Form tips
- Move slowly and deliberately without using momentum.
- Keep your torso tall and avoid arching your lower back.
- Explore the full range of motion of the shoulder joint.
- Keep your core engaged throughout the rotation.
