Elevated Tricep Dips

"This exercise is sure to get those stubborn triceps a great burn while elevating the heart rate," Hardy told POPSUGAR. You can use a sturdy chair or low table as your elevated surface.

  • Position your hands shoulder-width apart on a secured bench or stable chair.
  • Slide your butt off the front of the bench with your legs extended out in front of you.
  • Straighten your arms, keeping a little bend in your elbows to keep tension on your triceps and off your elbow joints.
  • Slowly bend your elbows to lower your body toward the floor until your elbows are at about a 90-degree angle. Be sure to keep your back close to the bench.
  • Once you reach the bottom of the movement, press down into the bench to straighten your elbows, returning to the starting position. Keep your shoulders down as you lower and raise your body.
  • This completes one rep.
  • You can bend your legs to modify this exercise.
