Chair Dips

This is an yet another excellent exercise that you can perform at your work place. Some experts have said that, this exercise is the most effective exercise for our triceps muscles which is a very important muscle, that makes lifting of objects quite easy such as groceries and other items that requires lifting. It is so good to know that you can be able to perform this very effective exercise at anywhere and all you need is a strong durable chair that can hold your weight.

How can you do this exercise at your work place? It is quite easy, just look for a strong durable chair that can carry your weight adequately. I will advice you set your chair against a wall, so that when you are doing the exercise, the chair doesn't move. After placing a strong durable chair against the wall, you sit at the edge of the chair and place both your hands beside yourself, holding the chair. Move your ass off the chair, you that your hands and stretched legs will be carrying your body weight. Now lower your body and then raise your body back up using only your hand arms strength. Do not use your legs to help lift yourself back up, use only your arms strength. Do this, like 10 times and rest a bit and do it again. If you can't do 10 times because you are just starting, do up to your capacity but ensure you push yourself and rest whenever you are noticing muscles stress. This is one of the most recommended exercise which can be done at anywhere and at anytime. Stay fit and healthy by practicing the chair dips exercise at your work place.
