Best Body Weight Exercise #6...Dolphin Pose!

A dolphin pose is an amazing exercise for the upper body with a specific emphasis on the shoulders. The simplest way to find your dolphin pose is to get into a downward dog position and then drop your elbows (gently!) to the floor. The elbows should be straight down from the shoulders with the forearms and hands flat on the floor. Think about pulling your shoulder blades down your back. To make the position more challenging, simply walk your feet closer to your body so your hips are higher in the air. Hold this position for 30 seconds to one minute. Take a break and try it two more times. Make sure you can breath deeply and take as much time as necessary to recover. Good luck!
