Chris FreytagDescription
The back of the arms is a hard area to strengthen and firm, but tricep dips are one of the best exercises you can do to tighten and tone that area. Tricep dips are a body weight exercise you can do pretty much anywhere at any time, but you want to make sure you have the proper form. Learn how to keep strong through your shoulders and how to do tricep dips correctly each and every time. Chris will guide you through the entire range of motion and provide modifications to make them easier or harder, depending on your personal fitness level.
All exercises you perform are your own responsibility and you perform them at your own risk. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider before starting any physical exercise, fitness or wellness regiments of any kind.
Hi, I'm Chris Freytag. Now everybody talks about the back of their arms, and they want to firm up and tone those flabby arms. Well, let me tell you, tricep dips are one of the best exercises that you can do. It's a body weight exercise so, you can really do it anywhere, anytime. Let me give you some tips.
You're going to come and find a chair, a step, whatever you have available to you and place your hands onto that step. Fingertips face your butt, your glutes. You're going to lift off of that step or chair, and most importantly you want to keep strong through your shoulders. So don't sink into your neck, but nice and strong. You're going to bend your knees and your going to slide down an imaginary wall, letting your elbows point backwards.
Range of motion is important so, come all the way down and come up. All the way down. Elbows point back all the way up. You'll feel it in the backside of your arms. If you want to make it a little more difficult, step those feet a little farther away.
The longer the lever, the harder it is. All the way down, all the way up. This will help you firm and tone the back of the arms and feel great in sleeveless shirts.
