SEPTEMBER--TRICEPS DIP ON STABILITY BALL

 

We all want great arms, don’t we?  To help achieve awesome toned triceps (the muscles behind the arm) try this exercise on a stability ball.  It works the triceps and core (the trunk musculature of the abdominals and low back).  This exercise is more for the advanced however you can also perform this on a flat bench or a chair.

  • Sit on a stability ball with knees bent, feet flat, and hands resting on ball next to hips.
  • Straighten elbows to lift hips, shift forward slightly, and move feet farther away from ball (the straighter your legs, the harder the move).
  • Bend elbows and lower hips toward ground.
  • Press up and repeat.
  • To start, do 1-2 sets of 8-12 repetitions.
  • Work up to completing 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions.
