A healthy body is a good prerequisite for the brain to function and often for maintaining a happy mood. Sometimes we want to achieve certain goals in a specific way. So we look for singles that focus on certain areas of the body. Many people, for example, want to get rid of a detail that seems unsightly to them. They are called curved arms. Basically, the skin on the upper arm sags and gently falls off the arm. This is clearly due to the force of gravity, but also due to a lack of firmness or, in some cases, a sudden change in weight. Thus, the adipose tissue is concentrated, causing an effect that is unpleasant for some.
Of course, we can anticipate this by training the muscles with certain movements. Among them is the anterior deltoid, but also the pectoral muscles and the triceps. So, to get rid of flabby muscles and sagging arms, we must train them with dips. They are that tone the triceps and that adopt several possible expressions depending on their difficulty. Today we are going to take a look at one of the easiest to do at home, the bench dip.
A simple but very effective method
To do this, just stand in front of a chair or bench, with your back to it. Pay attention to the starting position. We must make sure that our palms adhere to the edge. We place the heels on the ground and then we begin to gradually extend the legs forward. We bend the arms as we descend until the elbows form a 90º angle. Muscle tension in the legs is essential in this exercise. Ideally, the legs should be parallel to the ground, but without touching it.
Having reached this position, try to hold it for 2-3 seconds. Next, we can progressively get up using our elbows. In a way, it will be like pushing down on the chair or bench on which we are practicing to recover the starting position. For a toning exercise, try sessions of 10-15 repetitions of movements. We then take a minute between each session to recover.
If our joints are not very well trained, it is necessary to avoid overloading the shoulders, leaving them too drooping. Any movement must be proportional to our muscular condition and in general to our physical condition. To perform the exercise it is important not to arch your back as we descend to the ground. To help us do this, keep your torso upright, looking straight ahead.
