Well circles really, but bubbles seemed so much more fun. This exercise is a simple gem. Stand your awesome self in front of a mirror with your feet hip distance apart and parallel, drop your shoulders down and into your back pockets, find your netural spine and engage your core.
A quick word about engaging your core...my great friend and mentor, Jamie, reminded me that our core muscles are NOT connected to our glute muscles so be mindful and engage your core without contracting your rear end!
Moving on...extend your arms to the side and activate your arm muscles all the way through your fingers. Watch your shoulders, if they begin to creep up toward your ears, lower your arms. Now the fun part; start making small circles with your arms, forward then back. Pick an amount of time as a goal, 30 seconds is a good start, for each direction, repeat this 2-3 times during the day and increase your time as you are ready! This is a fun one!
Enjoy the beautiful day and take a few deep breaths in the fresh air! Nourishment for your soul!
