Standing Swimmer

The standing swimmer alternates large arm movements in a swimming-like pattern while you remain upright. It moves the shoulders without added equipment.

Execution

  1. 1
    Stand with your feet comfortably apart, knees soft and trunk steady.
  2. 2
    Raise one arm overhead while the other moves down beside your body.
  3. 3
    Continue the alternating swimming motion through a comfortable shoulder range.
  4. 4
    Keep the rhythm controlled and let the arms return smoothly rather than dropping them.

Technique

Avoid shrugging or leaning backwards to reach higher. Make the arm movement smaller if you lose trunk control.
