How to do it

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and extend both arms in front of you at shoulder height, hands together.
  2. Swing your arms in a wide arc to one side, letting your torso rotate with them while your hips stay pointed forward, then swing across to the other side.
  3. Keep the arms straight and the arc level, like sweeping a shelf clear from end to end - the power comes from your waist, not your shoulders.
