Triceps Dip (Bench Leg)

How to perform

Instructions:
1. Sit on the edge of a bench or sturdy elevated surface with your hands placed next to your hips, fingers pointing towards your feet. Your palms should be flat on the bench, and your elbows should be slightly bent.
2. Walk your feet forward until your hips are off the bench and your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
3. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body. Your upper arms should be parallel to the ground.
4. Pause briefly when your arms are at a 90-degree angle, then push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Tips:
- Keep your shoulders down and back throughout the exercise to avoid straining them.
- Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body during the movement.
- Focus on using your triceps to lift your body up, rather than relying on momentum.

Variations:
- To make the exercise easier, you can bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground instead of keeping your legs straight.
- To increase the difficulty, you can lift one leg off the ground while performing the triceps dip, or add resistance by wearing a weighted vest or holding a dumbbell between your legs.

Equipment required

Body Weight
Body weight equipment includes items like resistance bands, stability balls, and suspension trainers. These tools are used for a wide range of exercises that focus on strength training, flexibility, balance, and stability. They are commonly used in bodyweight exercises that utilize the resistance of one's own body to build muscle and improve overall fitness.
