Let your torso turn slightly with the movement at a slower pace.

About Standing Arm Sweep with Torso Turn

Standing Arm Sweep with Torso Turn moves one arm from side to side while the torso turns gently with it. Let the hand and chest change direction together. Use a low, slow sweep so the knees and lower back can remain comfortable.

What to focus on

Keep the knees comfortable as the torso follows the hand.
Change direction gently at the ends of the sweep.

Make the movement smaller

Sweep the hand through a short arc below shoulder height.

A mistake to watch for

Swinging the arm faster than the torso can follow. Slow the hand and shorten its path.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Standing Arm Sweep with Torso Turn. 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.
