Form cues

  • Back to a wall, elbows and wrists in light contact
  • Slide the arms up, keeping contact where you own it
  • Slide down with the blades drawing gently down and together

Common errors

  • ✗ Arching the ribs off the wall to reach higher
  • ✗ Letting the wrists leave early

How Kalyra programs it

Prepares and mobilizes the shoulders region — used in warm-ups and mobility blocks where range, not load, is the goal.

Typically 2–4 sets of 8–10 reps.
