Tricep Extension, Dumbbell, Alternating Steps:
Take hold of a pair of dumbbells, palms facing each other.
|
Raise them above your head by extending the arms.
|
Without moving the upper arms, slowly lower one of the dumbbells behind your head by flexing at the elbow.
|
Pause when you feel the stretch in your triceps.
|
Press the dumbbell back up until your arm is fully extended.
|
Repeat for the other arm.
|
Top Tip:This exercise can be performed standing or sitting on a bench or exercise ball. Standing up or sitting on an exercise ball will work the core abdominal muscles harder than sitting on a stable bench.
The alternating movement helps to improve coordination and slows you down. Increasing the overall exercise time means your body gets a longer more intense workout.
