- Stand with your back to a sturdy bench or chair, and bend your knees as if you were going to sit down, but don’t! Instead, place your palms on the front edge of the seat about shoulder width apart. Position your feet in front of you, so your body weight is resting on your arms.
- Extend your right arm and left leg in front of you, and bend your left arm, slowly lowering your body until your elbow is bent at a 90-degree angle and your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
- Your hips should drop straight down toward the ground, staying as close to the seat as possible. Hold the dip for a second, then exhale and straighten your arm back to the starting position.
- Repeat 10 times, then switch the arm and leg extended, and repeat 10 more times.
(Note: Do not lower your body too far down or lean forward as this can overstress your shoulders. If this feels like too much, stick with traditional tricep dips.)
