Peng Ting Arm Swings
This is the mid-day stretch that everyone needs. Begin standing with your feet hip-width apart and parallel. Be sure to put a soft bend in both of your knees as to not lock out your joints. Also, keep your hips and shoulders squared forward. Slowly extend your arms out so that they are no higher than your shoulders. Gently rotate your body from side to side with a slight rotation of your shoulders and hips. Let your arms flow naturally from side to side as you twist. For a modification, move slower, keep your arms lower, and twist ever so slightly. For a challenge, add a pivot off of your opposite foot when you twist, lifting your heel and twisting it out to give you more rotation and a bigger twist.
