Arm Crossover
A standing warm-up: the straight arms swing out wide, then cross in front of the chest, one on top and then the other.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
Steps
- Swing the arms across the chest, the right on top.
- Swing them back out wide until the chest opens.
- Cross again with the left on top; keep alternating.
Common mistakes
Flinging the arms back hard at the start: build the range over the first swings. Arms sagging below shoulder height: keep them level. Twisting the torso with the swing: the hips face forward.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
