Elbow Circling around Shoulder for Taiji Warm-up Exercises

4) Elbow Circling around Shoulder
stand upright with your feet shoulder width apart. Change both hands into hook-hands and place them on the front of the shoulders. Using both shoulder joints as pivots, start rotating the elbows in a circular movement. Both elbows move up, forward and then down in a circle. Do eight circles in both directions, repeating the exercise if necessary (two sets of eight circles for example) (Fig 2-7, 2-8, 2-9)
