How to Strengthen Your Arms
Toned Arms: 5 Moves That'll Get You Strong and Lean Muscles

Forearms: Crow Pose
Crow is an advanced yoga pose that requires superstrong forearms. If you aren't ready to lift off the ground, simply leaning your knees into the backs of your arms and tilting forward until you feel pressure in your forearms, wrists, and hands is enough. As you build endurance, try lifting one foot at a time until you are comfortable trying both feet together.
- Begin in a wide yogi squat, placing your palms firmly on the ground in front of you, spreading your fingers wide.
- Lift up from your legs slightly so that you can place your knees as high up onto your triceps as possible, toward your armpits.
- Shift your weight forward into your hands, leaning your knees further into the backs of your arms.
- Engage your belly and curve your spine up, like you are being lifted by your shoulder blades.
- Slowly raise each foot off the ground, balancing on your hands for three to five breaths.
