It may be cold outside, but tank top season is right around the corner - which means it's time to tone up your arms. iMag went to Famed Celebrity Yoga Guru and now Fila Yoga Ambassador, Kristin McGee for an easy move that will tone up your whole upper body.

Eagle Arms (And legs):

This simple yoga pose will help strengthens triceps, shoulders, and back muscles. It's also a good preventative measure against carpal tunnel syndrome.




Directions:

- Sit up and place your arms in front of you at a 90 degree angle. 

- Cross your arms so that the right arm is above the left. 

- Interlock your arms and press your palms together with the tips of your fingers pointed upwards. 

- Feel yourself contracting. 

- For your legs, simply cross your legs and interlock them with one foot behind the other.

Quick Tip

Workout While Working! Sit on a stability ball while working at your desk. This will strengthen your core. Try and squeeze in shoulder presses and crunches. Also, try taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Even a few flights at a time will add up quick!
