Top 3 yoga positions to give you beautiful arms

As well as calming your mind, decreasing stress and toning your body, yoga can do wonders for your upper body strength.
Not only does this mean you'll be better equipped to carry, lift and let's face it, show off, you'll have amazingly toned arms.
Working on muscle definition doesn't have to mean heavy weights. According to instructor Maria Rodale, yoga does the exact same trick - in a much more female-friendly way.
These top three yoga positions will have you showing your arms off, despite this cold weather, in no time.
Dolphin pose
Make sure you have a yoga mat before you practice this move.
Begin on all fours. Place your forearms on the mat, shoulder-width apart.
Push your legs further forward, so that they are fully straight, keeping your hands on the floor.
When your legs are as straight as possible, walk as far towards your hands as you can, keeping your shoulders directly over your elbows.
This position puts almost all the emphasis on the top of your arms - helping to sculpture and define them - particularly great if you want to get rid of any 'bingo arms' you might have.
Plank
Despite not being the most elegant sounding name, the plank could give you some incredibly elegant arms.
Just as before, begin on all fours. This time, however, ensure that your palms are flat against the floor.
Step back on your toes and support your body weight with your hands - almost as if you were doing a press up.
Make sure your whole body is in one straight line.
"Firm the upper, outer edges of your arms in to release the base of your neck and extend your chest, and distribute the weight on your knuckles evenly," Ms Rodale advises.
Forearm plank
Just as with the plank, start on all fours as if you were about to do a sit up.
This time, however, rest your shoulders to the floor and have your forearms ahead of you.
Forearm plank really puts the pressure on the top of your arms - the exact part you want properly sculpting.

- Which is the best oil for hair growth and thickness?Mar 29, 2021Thank you for your very informative article. I suffered COVID in December, 2020, and in February I started experience extreme hair loss and all my hair jus falls like a person who is under going Chemo therapy. It's very depressing. Had to cut off all my hair and even the little that is left is falling off daily not sure what to do. Please suggest something.
- Carrot Oil for Face Mar 15, 2021Hello :) You can use carrot oil only in small drops on your skin in the morning/during the day since it is highly potent. Carrot oil is rich in vitamins and is a very effective moisturiser. You can also mix a few drops of Carrot Oil with your favorite face cream. You can do that at least twice a week or include it in your daily skincare routine. Hope this helps.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
