What to Focus On:
Upper back squeeze - You should feel your shoulder blades pulling together as you sweep your arms
Chest elevation - Keep your chest lifted off the ground throughout the entire arm movement
Smooth arm motion - Create a flowing arc with your arms, like making a snow angel in reverse
Rear shoulder work - Feel the back of your shoulders working to move your arms
Modifications:
Easier: Perform the arm sweeps with your chest resting on the ground
Harder: Pause for 2 seconds at the top of each arm sweep while maintaining chest lift
