The Dumbbell Tricep Kickback With Stork Stance exercise is a variation of the traditional tricep kickback that incorporates a balance component by standing on one leg. This exercise helps to target and tone the triceps while also improving balance and stability.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Tricep Kickback With Stork Stance exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by selecting a pair of dumbbells that are an appropriate weight for your fitness level.
2. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Engage your core for stability.
3. Lift your right leg off the ground, bending it at the knee and bringing your foot up towards your left thigh to assume a stork stance.
4. Keep your left leg firmly planted on the ground throughout the exercise.
5. Hinge at the hips to lean your torso forward slightly, keeping your back straight and chest up.
6. Bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle, with your upper arms parallel to the ground.
7. Engage your triceps and extend your arms straight back, fully extending your elbows and squeezing your triceps at the top of the movement.
8. Hold the extended position briefly before slowly returning to the starting position.
9. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other leg and arm.
It's important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your core engaged, back straight, and focusing on isolating the triceps as you extend your arms back. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form before increasing the weight as needed.
