After completing and embracing your push-ups, find a sturdy chair or bench for tricep bench dips. Remember your neutral spine, the feeling or your core engaged and your shoulder blades down and back, away from your ears. Sit on your chair/bench with your feet hip distance apart, hip bones = hip distance. Grasp the edge of the chair, extend your legs and slide yourself off the edge, don't forget your spine alignment! Lower your torso, do not lower your shoulders past your elbows, and with the strength of your core and your arms, push yourself back up on an exhale. 2-3 sets in proper form and before long you will be flexing in the mirror. If your shoulders creep to your ears and your back begins to arch, it is time to take a rest. These may also be done with your knees bent and your feet planted firmly on the floor.
I have said it before...drink lots of WATER and have a fantastic day!
