Aloha!
Back again with another post from Hawaii! Try the Reverse Plank to firm up the backside of your body. It will tone your rear deltoids (shoulders), rhomboids (postural muscles in your back), and firm up your glutes (butt muscles) It will also open up the shoulders to give you better posture.
Sitting, turn your fingers so that they point to the sides, not forward or back….this is the easiest on your wrists. Lift up the hips and squeeze your glutes – don’t over clench – just a firm squeeze to tone. Roll your shoulders back and be careful not to lock the elbow joint. Gaze forward, not up at the sky to properly align the neck and spine. Hold for 30 seconds and then repeat 2 more times.
After sitting for long periods of time and to open up the front body, this is a great exercise! It will also strengthen your back body to better maintain that good posture that I posted about the other day!
