Beach Triceps Dips
Equipment Required
- a support such as an elevated rock, bench or fence.
Technique
- Place your hands on the support, beside your backside and facing forwards, with your legs extended out in front of you slightly bent.
- Lower your body down slightly until your elbows are nearly in line with your shoulders.
- Push back up until the arms are extended.
- Repeat this procedure for the required amount of repetitions.
Key points to remember
- Warm up before any exercise program. At the beach, a run and some stretches is a good way to start.
- Make sure your body is stable and your chest is out, keeping your midsection firm throughout the movement.
- If it is sunny, don't forget to cover yourself up with a hat or some sunscreen. If it is hot, be sure to drink lots of water to stay well hydrated.
Alternatives
- For a more advanced workout, move your feet further out.
- An even more advanced technique is to balance on only one leg with the other extended out above the sand.
