Arms high and Shoulder shake are vigorous exercises and you need a certain degree of stamina. They are both easy movements and you need just average coordination skills. You can do them anywhere you have space. Arms high is a high-impact exercise, and you should do this activity only if your joints are in good condition.

They are challenging aerobic activities. They are great to loosen up the shoulders and chest area. If you do them regularly, you can increase your mobility and stamina.

Outcome spiritual

These two exercises have a significant impact on your subtle energy system. The energetic body gets charged up with aerobic movements, and you will feel this energy immediately.
