Focus

Pull your arms back quite vigorously as you feel your pectoral muscles opening up and stretching.

1. Stand with your legs hip-width apart. Rest your palms on the fronts of your thighs.
2. Inhaling, lift your arms to the front at shoulder height.
3. Clench your fists. Holding your breath and without arching your back, swing both arms out to your sides at shoulder height and back to the middle again. Still holding your breath, repeat the swinging 6 more times. (This is one round.)
4. Exhaling, open your hands and release your palms back down to your thighs.
5. Repeat 6 more rounds.
