How to do it

  1. 01

    Sit or stand with your feet slightly apart.

  2. 02

    Place your hands on your shoulders with your elbows at shoulder level and pointing out.

  3. 03

    Slowly make a circle with your elbows. Breathe out as you start the circle and breathe in as you complete the circle.

In the app

Elbow Circles appears when you own the kit it needs and the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have the kit it needs

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
