Form tips
When performing the exercise, avoid rushing through the movements. Instead, make sure to move your arms in a controlled and deliberate manner. This will not only help to prevent injuries but also ensure that you are effectively working your muscles.
To get the most out of the exercise, ensure you are using a full range of motion. Your arms should start by your sides, then move in a large circle to touch above your head, and then return to the starting position. Avoid the mistake of making small circles, which won't engage your muscles as effectively.
