The Korean Dips exercise is a bodyweight exercise that targets the triceps, shoulders, and chest muscles. It is an effective exercise to strengthen and tone the upper body.
How to perform
To perform Korean Dips, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Find a sturdy, elevated surface such as a bench, chair, or parallel bars that is about knee-height.
2. Stand facing away from the surface and place your hands shoulder-width apart on the edge of the surface, fingers facing forward.
3. Walk your feet out in front of you so that your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your heels.
4. Keeping your elbows close to your body and your core engaged, slowly lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows.
5. Lower yourself until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle or slightly lower.
6. Push through your palms to straighten your arms and raise your body back to the starting position.
7. Perform 10-15 repetitions of the exercise, focusing on controlled movements and maintaining proper form throughout.
It is important to engage your core muscles and keep your body in a straight line throughout the exercise to avoid putting unnecessary strain on your lower back. Additionally, make sure to breathe steadily and avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement. Start with a few sets of 10-15 repetitions and gradually increase the number of sets as you get stronger.
