This seventh exercise is very similar to the previous one, although the sole difference is that we only lift the hands to shoulder height, not the mouth.

Put your arms in a cross position without using too much tension, just like the previous exercise. Bend your elbows at a right angle, maintaining them at shoulder height. Keep them there for barely 1 or 2 seconds. Lower the arms slowly until you reach the initial position.

When you have completely lowered your arms, do not abandon the crossed arm position. Return to lift them slowly until they are in position with the shoulders. Repeat this exercise about 30 times before releasing the position. Once you have done all 20 repetitions, rest and repeat the exercise 2 more times.

Note: This routine may always be done in a seated position, as long as the back is kept in a totally straight arrangement.
