Standing Archer
Arms out in front at shoulder height, one arm opens straight out to the side while the other bends back to the chest like drawing a bow; then the sides switch.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, both arms straight out in front at shoulder height.
Steps
- Open one arm straight out to the side and draw the other hand back to the chest.
- Bring both arms back in front.
- Draw the bow to the other side and keep alternating; log the time.
Common mistakes
Arms sinking below shoulder height: keep the line level. Turning the hips with the arms: the hips face forward. Shrugging on the draw: shoulders down.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
