Step 1

Holding a weight plate with both hands, plant both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms out in front of you so that you are holding the weight plate at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock directly in front of your chest. This is your starting position.

Step 2

While keeping both arms extended, rotate the plate to the left as far as you can. Avoid ‘shrugging’ your shoulders by drawing your shoulder blades down and back.

Step 3

While keeping both arms extended, rotate the plate to the right as far as you can, once again, avoid ‘shrugging’ your shoulders by drawing your shoulder blades down and back. Continue alternating between left and right rotations for the specified number of repetitions, inhaling for four rotations and exhaling for four rotations.
