How to do it
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and extend your arms straight out to the sides.
- Swing both arms forward and across your body, crossing them in front of your chest.
- Open your arms back out wide to the sides.
- Continue the cross and open motion in a controlled swinging rhythm.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
