30 seconds of arm circles
Arm circles mean drawing big circles with your arms, 15 seconds forward and 15 seconds back. They wake up your shoulders after a long scroll, standing or seated, with almost no space needed.
How to do it
30 seconds of arm circles, step by step.
Stand or sit tall, arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
Draw big, slow circles forward for 15 seconds.
Reverse and circle backwards for 15 seconds.
Drop your arms and roll your shoulders once.
Seated version
The same circles, seated: 15 s forward, 15 s back.
Playable

Questions
About 30 seconds of arm circles
How long does it take?
About 30 seconds, start to finish. Every Move in MiniMove takes 90 seconds or less.
What if I can't do it?
Do the seated version instead. The same circles, seated: 15 s forward, 15 s back. Still not right for you today? “I can't do this” in the app swaps in another Move and stops suggesting this one.
How many minutes does it unlock?
Whatever the Move, it opens the app for the window you chose: 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes of real use (15 by default), capped at twice that on the clock. It also goes into your Bank. With MiniMove+ “Earn more” on, doing it twice in a row earns a double window, up to 60 minutes.
