I'm going to practice more circles. It's doesnt look like, but it is pretty hard especially for forearm.

Very nice, especially the last set where your shape looked better :)

In the front, you want to try to stick your chest out. You have a common habit which is that you hollow your torso to get your legs lifted up. The best circles are done with a mild arch when the legs are in front; this allows the body to stay fully extended throughout the swing. 

 

The other thing is that you're using too much muscle. Done right, circles are a swing. Try to feel the momentum in your feet, and use it to swing yourself around the circle.

Thanks for reply. I will try to focus on the legs in front and use more swing instead of muscles. If you have any video of yours I will appreciate it.
