Slim, Calm, Sexy Yoga Upper-Body Workout

Target your upper body with poses that will make you stronger and leaner

Plank

  1. Come to your hands and knees. Tuck your toes under and straighten your legs so you are in one  horizontal line. Bring your shoulder blades together. Extend forward through the top of your head and reach back through your heels. Reach the backs of your legs up.
  2. Keep your elbows straight but not locked. Make sure your hands are under your shoulders and your fingers are spread wide, as if you were squishing them into wet sand. Hold for 60 seconds.

Tip Keep your stomach engaged. This move is more about your core than your arms. Make sure to lift your stomach, hips, and thighs to the ceiling. If you can hold this pose for a long time, you’ll reap huge benefits.
