Home made exercise machine to perform Dips.

A standard medical walker makes a great compact dip home station. I picked this one up for $5 at a garage sale. It folds and is easily stored under the bed or in the closet. Elastic bands can be used as a means to aid in the upward movement for those just starting out. No need to buy expensive Dip bars at a fitness equipment store. Throw in a doorway chin-up bar and you have two of the best upper body excercises you can do, and the best part is the cost was minimum.

I bought a like-new one yesterday for $8 from a consignment store.

@mrfranchize02 I lent one of mine to my father-in-law, he really needed it as a walker, I tossed it in the trunk of my car. The next week while at a speed skating workout at a park I busted it out for the team to use. A couple of weeks later there's someone else at the park using one for dips as part of their workout. It's catching on!

This isn't really "home made". You're just taking something else and using it as a dip machine.

For people actually looking to build their own dip machine, this video isn't going to help for ideas. I've never seen a walker at any garage sales I've been to.

@staphinfection Granted I didn't make it, I'm simply taking an item designed for one use and using it for another. The "homemade" I added as a target word for people looking to improvise and save a few dollars on home exercise equipment, most of which is overpriced and over rated. FYI- Thrift stores typically have a variety of walkers for sale.
