What It Is
A loose, rhythmic warm-up that opens your chest and upper back and gets your shoulders ready to work.
How to Do It
Stand tall with your arms straight out to the sides. Swing both arms across your chest, crossing them like a hug. Swing them back out wide until you feel a stretch across your chest. Alternate which arm crosses on top.
Skill Level
Novice. Everyday movements on a stable base. Safe to learn on day one.
Type
Mobility. Moves your joints through their range to warm up and loosen stiff areas.
Engagement
Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.
