How to perform

2. Keep your back straight and core engaged.
3. Slowly raise the weight in a circular motion, moving it out and away from your body and then back towards your body, forming a full circle.
4. Maintain a controlled movement and keep your arm slightly bent at the elbow throughout the exercise.
5. Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.
6. Focus on engaging your shoulder muscles and not relying on momentum to move the weight.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can use a heavier weight or perform more repetitions.
8. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise and avoid any jerky movements to prevent injury.
9. As with any exercise, listen to your body and stop if you experience any pain or discomfort. Consult with a fitness professional if you're unsure about proper form or technique.
