Form tips
When raising your arms, do it in a controlled manner. Avoid jerky movements which can cause injury. Instead, slowly lift your arms to shoulder height, hold for a moment, and then slowly lower them back down. A common mistake is to use momentum to swing the arms up and down, which reduces the effectiveness of the exercise and increases the risk of injury.
Keep your abdominal muscles engaged throughout the exercise to maintain balance and stability. This will also help to protect your lower back. A common mistake is to forget about the core and focus only on the arm movement.
