Develop upper-body strength and shoulder stability with the Pilates Circle Arms Bent. This exercise focuses on maintaining gentle, consistent pressure into the circle while promoting proper scapular positioning and postural awareness. Begin with the elbows bent to establish control and stability, then progress to the straight-arm variation as your strength and endurance improve. Throughout the movement, keep the shoulders relaxed, the neck long, and allow your breath to guide each repetition. Consistent, intentional practice will help build strength, coordination, and confidence in your movement.
