Top 10 Arm Moves

The Cobra

If you carry your stress between your shoulder blades like I do, this move may feel tweaky and, well, unpleasant for the first two reps or so. By the fifth, though, I always feel wrung out -- and by the 10th, the space between my shoulder blades feels wide open (and I'm less snarly).

Do it:

• Lie facedown on the floor with your palms near your chest.
• Lift your head, shoulders, and chest off the floor, pulling your shoulder blades down and together. Stay here for two counts and then lower down.
• Repeat 8-10 times. (Need more? Try lifting your thighs and hips off the floor.)
