Day 13 of the 100 Reps Challenge

How we all doing? Another week completed! Moving right along with a focus on arms and legs today:

20 tricep dips (for the advanced: you can also do these with your legs elevated)
20 side leg raises (20 on each side)

Do this set 5 times, all at once or spread across the day, for a total of 100 tricep dips and 100 side leg raises!

Fitness Tip: Try doing the tricep dips with only your heels touching the ground rather than having the feet flat for a slightly more challenging workout- this is a good segue between the regular tricep dip and the tricep dip with legs elevated. And for all forms of tricep dips, don’t let your shoulders hunch as you lower your body; keep them away from your ears!

    “slightly more challenging” I’m still working on getting the regular dips down.

    I did 3 sets of 20…let me re phrase that =) My workout plan was to do 3 sets of 20 tricep dips. I ended up doing 20/20/11. I was also doing 2 other tricep variation exercises…which exhausted that muscle by the last set.

    Kelly- that’s strange. I like them. Are your shoulders just really tight or something?

    Fitness Surfer- that’s good that you exhausted the muscle! Shows just how hard you were working:)

    Strongandhealthy- I love working a muscle that I’ve forgotten about… it feels so sore and so good afterward.
