Arm Relax with Body Turning exercise for Taiji Warm-up Exercises

7) Arm Relax with Body Turning exercise
Stand upright with your feet shoulder width apart and arms at your side. The shoulders, arms and hips should be relaxed and the knees slightly bent. Fix both feet on the floor and turn the body to the left and then to the right by using the waist. Following the movement of the body, swing both arms in the same direction. The hands should gently pat the body at the extremities of the movement. The arms should rise slowly so that the hands pat the body from the waist, until they are gently patting the body behind the shoulders. Eyes look to the rear left of the body and the rear right alternately, following the movement. (Fig 2- 14, Fig 2-1 5) Repeat this exercise as many times as you like.
