DIPS
Muscles worked This is great for triceps.
The gist Start from a seated position.
Stretch both legs out in front, arms on
the bench behind you. Raise body off the
bench and forward, dip down to a 90-
degree angle holding yourself with your
arms. Raise back up without sitting on
bench, and repeat. Start with 10-15 reps.
For an easier version, just keep the knees
bent.
Muscles worked Good for agility, coordination and cardio.
The gist Use any raised edge. Step up with right leg, meet with the left leg,
then down with the right leg, then down with the left leg. Repeat as fast as
possible. This can be a stationary exercise, but to add more agility move simultaneously
along the length of the raised edge, first all way to the left, and then
back to the right as LaMaine is doing above and the group is doing below.
This is part one of a two-part
feature. In the July issue you will see
advanced exercises our trainers themselves
do when they Do the Muni. They’ll also
demonstate stretching exercises you’ll want
to incorporate for optimum fitness.
