What Are Arm Circles?

Arm circles are a shoulder and upper-body movement where you rotate your arms in repeated circles. They are often used in warm-ups, conditioning workouts, and shoulder endurance work because they train the deltoids, upper back, and supporting arm muscles with continuous motion.

Example Calculation

A person who weighs 150 pounds and completes 500 arm circles in basic mode burns:

Calories Burned = 500 \times (0.000308 \times 150 + 0.01) = 28.1 kcal

That works out to a little over 28 calories for the set.
