#2 – Triceps Dips

A classic exercise which is traditionally done on parallel bars in the gym but can be modified for the home by using a chair. It works the backs of your arms mainly but the fronts of your shoulders and chest assist the movement. Sit on the edge of a chair and place your hands on the edge, positioning your feet away from it. Straighten your arms and slide your rear end off of edge and rest the soles of your feet flat on the floor with a bend in the knees.  Lower your body by bending your arms until a slight stretch is felt in chest or shoulder. Go down as far as is comfortable and then drive up to the start position to complete the repetition. Do enough to really feel it working the backs of your arms. To make it more challenging, straighten your legs or lift them onto another chair before starting
