How to do it
Relax your arms in front of your body and swing them calmly out to the sides.
Alternate sides in a loose, unforced motion.
About Relaxed Arm Swing
Relaxed Arm Swing lets the arms travel outward from the front in a loose, alternating pattern. Allow the hands and elbows to stay soft as you change sides. Use a small enough swing that you can stop the movement without a sudden pull through the shoulders.
What to focus on
- Let the elbows and hands stay soft.
- Change sides without jerking the torso.
Make the movement smaller
Use a short swing near the waist and pause between sides if needed.
A mistake to watch for
Throwing the arms to create a larger arc. Reduce their momentum and keep the movement easy to stop.
Practice time and pacing
The app assigns 30 seconds to Relaxed Arm Swing. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
Where you will practice it
