"What's especially helpful about these is that you can incorporate them into your existing yoga practice or gym workout. They also bring a surprise factor in that they're not things that you might normally think to try on your mat. Even better, it's not an entire 30-minute strength conditioning workout. It's simple drills you can rely on every single day to strengthen your shoulders."
"Forearm Plank Nose Taps Come into Forearm Plank. Shift yourself forward and tap your nose toward the ground and then come back to Forearm Plank. Try to do this 10 times. Keep your core strong and engaged. You're going to feel the burn! Dolphin Pose Taps Come into Dolphin Pose. Rock yourself forward and tap just the top of your forehead in between your hands and then come back to Dolphin Pose. Try to do this 10 times."
Three essential shoulder-strengthening exercises can be practiced at home and integrated into existing yoga or gym routines. Regular practice of short daily drills builds upper-body strength, particularly in the shoulders, and makes challenging poses and transitions feel easier. The exercises include forearm plank nose taps, dolphin pose taps, and transitions between Downward-Facing Dog and Dolphin Pose, each recommended for ten repetitions. Core engagement and a slightly wider stance for the dog-to-dolphin transition enhance stability. Always stretch after performing the shoulder drills. Consistent practice over time produces noticeable strength and functional improvements.
