Jumpstart Your Routine - Bench Dips

Step 1: Start by sitting on a sturdy, non-moving object (like a bench or chair), put your feet on another sturdy, non-moving object of similar height with enough space to have your legs fully extended in front of you. Place your hands beside your hips with fingers facing towards your feet.

Step 2: Inhale as you lower your body down between the two objects until your upper arms are at a 90-degree angle (or slightly lower) to the floor. Keep your elbows as close to your body as possible throughout the entire movement.

Step 3: Exhale as you use your triceps to extend back to the starting position.

Variations: Place your feet on the floor (beginners) or add a plated weight to your lap (advanced).
