Look Sleek and Toned in Your Strapless Dress With These Back-Strengthening Poses

At first glance, Locust pose looks simple, but it's actually quite challenging. Expect the muscles around your spine, arms, and legs to feel engaged.

Another backbend that strengthens all the muscles of the back is Bow pose. It also stretches the entire front of the body including the abs and chest.

Besides being a great stretch for the front of your body including prone-to-tightness hip flexors, Camel pose strengthens your back, too. This pose also improves your posture, which makes sitting at a desk all day much easier to manage.

Even though Reverse Warrior is felt deeply in the legs, it's a great pose for strengthening the spine and improving posture. It especially works on the lower muscles of the back.

Challenge yourself with a Shoulderstand and the payoff will be a toned upper back, legs, and backside. Think of this pose as perfecting your posture while you're upside down!
