Exercises (Triceps Dips)
Active Lifestyle
Consult your physician before starting any diet and/or exercise plan.
Muscles Worked
Uper Arms (back) or Triceps
Position and Movement
Place your hands behind you on a stable object with your feet on the ground. Your body should be about 4 to 6 inches away from the object behind you throughout the movement. Slowly lower yourself down toward the floor until your arms are nearly at a 90-degree angle. Hold, then use your triceps to lift yourself back up.
Tip
Remember to keep your hands firmly on the object for safety. Also keep your elbows pointed behind you to work your triceps and not your shoulders. Try not to use your legs to lift yourself back up.
