Step by Step Guide

• Begin sitting on the ground with bent legs in front of you. Place your hands behind your body with the fingers facing forward.
• Lift your hips off the ground a couple inches so that all your weight is now in your heels and hands.
• Then, perform a tricep dip as you lower the body down to the ground and bend the elbows slightly.
• Next, straighten the arms again as you press back up, raising the hips back off the ground again.
• Repeat for the desired repetitions.

Common Mistakes

A common mistake is rounding the shoulders which can be uncomfortable on the shoulder joints as you dip. Instead, pull the shoulders down and back before performing the dip so you have better posture and less discomfort.
