Description: Stand on a bosu, feet hip-width apart to maintain balance. Slowly raise your arms sideways until they are parallel to the ground, then gently lower them. Keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the exercise.

Tips: Focus on your balance by contracting your abdominal muscles. Perform the movement slowly to better control stability and avoid jerky motions.
