arm raising
Hoisting your extremity
Arm raising is the act of lifting one or both arms, typically to signal, vote, volunteer, or get attention.
In exercise contexts, it describes movements that elevate the arms: lateral arm raises, overhead arm raises.
The phrase also appears in medical and physical therapy settings to assess shoulder mobility or neurological function.
