Hello steemians! It's me @fazal-qadir, from Pakistan. Another exciting week , another hard exercise. It is hard for those who hardly use there body in activities. Whenever ,i went to gym the hardest part was shoulder exercise. So when we try punches or arm rotation your shoulder will feel pain. And your arm will not let you complete the required task . This exercise is not difficult for me,but for those who is doing it for the first time will feel difficult to complete the 40 times.

I salute to the professor @ngoenyi because she makes it challenging for us to complete it. This exercise will definitely help us to strong our shoulders, arms, back muscles, heart muscle.
As we know road crimes is also the case we can protect us if we were physically strong. So this exercise also make us strong.

My advice

Before starting the exercise it's is good to do some stretching exercises to prevent injuries and prepare your body and muscles. When you are done with the exercise do some relaxing stretching exercises too, it will keep your body recover and reduce muscles strain.

How to do arm circle_clockwise & anti-clockwise

This exercise is very challenging. But I will share a trick for it. Do it in very slow speed. The reason of slow speed is that your shoulder and arms will not get tired. And you will be in position to complete the count of 40.

• Firstly, stand still open your arms horizontal position.

• Without resting now rotate the arms in anti-clockwise direction and complete it for 40 circles.

Q 2. Do you think shadow boxing and arm circle are good for you and will you recommend it for others?

Benefits of Shadow Boxing and Arm Circles

I would say shadow boxing will make me strong, and arm circles boost my strength. Every exercise has its own benefits.

Challenges of the Exercises

I found these two exercises to be very challenging for me. They are hardcore exercises that may look easy but are not. The reason I find them difficult is that we don't typically use our shoulders or strong hands in our daily lives. These exercises focus on these specific parts, which is why they get tired easily.

Recommendation

I would recommend these exercises to everyone, especially to my overweight colleagues. These exercises will 100% help them improve their strength.
