Dip Station at the Gym

sarah44254

Is there a sub for a dip station at the gym? I like to follow bodyrock routines, but have not once been able to include the ones with a dip station in them.



I read someone else bought a walker for 10 bucks and uses that. That is awesome! I will keep an eye out for one of those for sure.

But for now, since I am spending $$ on a gym membership, I just want to be able to do my workouts there. I can't imagine what equipment there I can use as a sub for the dip station.

Ideas?

Chair dips, are a similar move for at home use.

- though I personally extend feet / legs out father, so knee is not bent. To go advanced, raise one leg, while keeping other on the floor. (knees unbent)

You can also do them off a weight bench at the gym.

Does your gym have a captains Chair/leg raise stand?

Many can be used for dips also

That is true for the arm move parts of it, but she uses the dip for leg lifts and core work too. I don't know the names of the moves but let me try and find a reference.

I guess this is the best I can describe it as:



Also you can see one of the videos I am describing with this link:

totally does. I have stared at it and wondered how to get up there. I'm not too tall, and it is high up! hehe. that seems like a decent sub for many of the moves she uses

I have that stand shown, at home, you can often find bracing bars on the side, or across the back, near bottom - that can be used as a step up. So check and see. I am 5'2" and use them to step up.

Just move a bench or something on over to give yourself a little lift up there

Or it looks like you might be able to do it with a pull up bar or anything like that... if you can reach up there I suppose

leg lifts can also be done hanging from a pull up bar.

How about the leg / lunge combo she does at 2:40 min?

Thanks for the help so far, I just really want to avoid buying one of those stations for home when I have little space and a gym already!
