Yoga calms the mind and increases your
flexibility, but it can also strengthen your core and give you toned abs
that are sexy all year round. Try these five yoga poses that target
your entire midsection, both front and back.
4-Limbed Staff pose is repeated several times when doing Sun Salutations,
but it's only held for half a full breath. If you hold this pose for
longer, it not only strengthens your upper body but it also targets your
core.
- From Mountain pose, bend forward coming into a Standing Forward Bend with your palms flat on the floor.
- Inhale and hop both feet back so your shoulders are above your wrists and your body is in one straight line (top of a push-up).
- As you exhale, bend your elbows allowing them to brush against the sides of your body as you lower your torso toward the floor. Stop when your upper arms and body are parallel with the ground.
- Hold here for five deep breaths.
