Do It Better – Week 4 Day 5

Triceps dips
The triceps dip is one of the most effective exercises for activating the triceps muscles in your upper arm. Additionally, you must activate your core as you hold your hips off the ground. The range of motion is small, although you can feel the tension in the triceps.
- Starting Position: Sit down on the floor. Legs slightly bent, feet flat on the floor. Support your body by placing the hands behind your back, with your fingers pointing your feet. The elbows point backward. Push the arms through and bring up your hips.
- Inhale as you slowly bend your elbows. Your body is sinking down now. Try to keep up the hip and the body in a line.
- Exhale as you push your body back up again, to the starting position.
Lying biceps curl
Lying biceps curl is one of the best exercises that you can do to build your biceps. Not only does it isolate your biceps since the rest of your body is stabilized, but it is great for individuals who have spine issues since it does not create spinal compression.
Anchor the band at the bottom of the door.
- Starting position: Grip a handle in each hand and lay on your back with your feet 1 to 2 feet away from the door. Your knees should be up and your feet flat on the floor. Start with your arms straight and tight to your body with palms facing up.
- Exhale as you pull the handles and bend your arms. Keep your upper arms down against the floor during the entire movement.
- Inhale and slowly return to the starting position.
