TRICEPS CHAIR DIPS

I am so excited about our first Wonder Twins Boot Camp!  I hope to see many of you present and ready to work on Saturday, September 14th!  NO EXCUSES!

Starting today on the blog, we are going to share exercises that you can do at home or at the park. Actually, these exercises can be done just about anywhere.  You can do some great exercises without going to the gym.  

The first exercise is the Triceps Chair Dip, which is a great exercise to strengthen and tone your triceps.  Many women complain about upper arm jiggle or bat wings."  This is a great exercise to target that area.  

TRICEPS CHAIR DIPS

1. Place the chairs facing each other, about 3 feet apart.
2. Sit on the edge of one chair and grip the edge of the chair with your hands.
3. Place your heels on the edge of the other chair and hold yourself up using your triceps.
4. Slide forward just far enough that your behind clears the edge of the chair, then lower yourself until your elbows are bent between 45 and 90 degrees. Keep your shoulders down, away from your ears.
5. Slowly push yourself back up to the start position and repeat. Control the movement throughout the range of motion.
6. Begin with 10 repetitions and work up to 25 repetitions over several weeks.
