Someone could indicate a asana that gives strength to arms? Thanks

One of our facebook friends asked this question and received the following replies - do you have anything to add?


Bobby: sirahasana,kukketasana

Swami Saradananda: OM - dolphin

Chetankumar: Tulasana ,Pranasana,Utanshwanpadasana(dog pose),SuryaNamaskar are asanas which target arms muscles and also gives other benefits.

Rod: Vrischikasana!

Rania: warrior position

Nitin: Shirshasan

Shekhar: Om
Shoulder Rotation, Palm Balancing, Bakasan, Chaturanga, Downward Facing Dog.
Try to hold for long period of time in each n every asan.

Natasha: chakrasana is good as is bhujanga asana . For arms they coordinate with the back muscles a lot . Strong arms require a strong waist and back also .

Sangeetha: shoulder exercises and hand warmup exercises such as wrist movements will help a lot in strenghthening hands.

Shammi: Dog pose is one of the best, an advance posture for strengthening the hands will be chatrungadandasana. Combine dog pose and bhujangasana together and do it in a series of 10 to 20, works completely on the arms. Apart from that, get close to the wall, place palms on the floor, your legs close to the wall, start walking on the wall from the back. One of the best for strong hands.
