Move of the week: arm rotations are the simplest warm up move you’re probably skipping

By Chloe Gray

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: arm rotations.

Arm rotations are one of the classic warm up exercises. Up there with opening and closing the gate or cat/cow, you probably did them in P.E. class before a match of rounders and now find them at the start of boutique gym classes. 

But do you skip over them when warming up for your own workout? Whether it’s a run or a strength session, arm rotations are brilliant to get you set up for your exercise. After all, they’re a classic for a reason.
