Windmill your limbs
An arm circle is an exercise movement where the arms extend outward and rotate in circular motions, typically performed as a warm-up to loosen the shoulder joints: We started with twenty arm circles in each direction.
The circles may be small and controlled or large and sweeping, forward or backward.
