Arm Circles

About

Arm circles are a simple yet effective exercise that enhances shoulder mobility and flexibility. This movement involves rotating your arms in circular motions, typically performed by extending your arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor. It can be done as a warm-up, dynamic stretch, or part of a shoulder-strengthening routine. Arm circles help improve the range of motion in your shoulder joints, increase blood flow to the muscles, and reduce the risk of injury during activities involving the arms and shoulders. The exercise engages various muscle groups, including the deltoids, rotator cuff, trapezius, and rhomboids. It is beneficial for beginners and experienced exercisers alike, requiring no equipment and suitable for different fitness levels. Arm circles can also be part of rehabilitation programs for shoulder conditions, aiding in recovery by promoting joint mobility and strengthening surrounding muscles. Regular practice can improve posture and overall upper body strength, making it a versatile addition to any fitness routine.
