Exercise 1 Start in the basic middle position.
Slide your hands along your back to the sides of your body, where they turn palms up so the sharp of each hand is under your breasts. Then slide your hands around your breasts, connect the backsides of your hands in the centre of your chest and slide them further up.
After your elbows meet, raise your arms intertwined above your head.
Your upper arms should be next to your ears, elbows slightly bent, hands aimed straight up (you might want to check it in the mirror).
Your arms and hands should move smoothly, without pausing and without losing contact with your body.Put your hands behind your back again, retracing their way up and keeping them pressed against your body.
Return to the basic position.
