Arm raises

Muscles worked

How to do it

1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and let your arms hang by your sides.
2. Keeping your arms straight, raise them slowly all the way up then lower them back down with the same control.
3. Tense your muscles on the way up and on the way down - the tension is what does the work here, not the movement itself.
4. This is a slow mindful exercise so no swinging and no flapping.
5. Every rep should feel deliberate from start to finish.
