Today's challenge is: Tricep Dips

Let's see if we can do 150.

You can do them any style you want and you have until midnight to get them done.
If you can't do 150 then do what you can.
The important thing is that you try to do it.
Make sure you stretch and have fun doing them.
Report back when you are done and let us know how you did.

That video is kinda goofy but it gets the point across :)

    I just found mini challenge yesterday. I love it! I was going to take today as exercise free, but now I am accepting the challenge. Keep issuing them. They are motivating and provide variety. I would not think to do many of these exercises. I usually just walk. Also being an older ( high 50s female), I appreciate the video attachments telling me how to do the exercises safely.

    OMG I saw your post and about fell over from laughing because if you wouldn't have posted that I would have truly tried it and been on the floor! Lmao!

    10 down...only 140 to go! I'm thinking 10 an hour I should be able to get to 150 by midnight!

    I don't have a bench, so I found my (un-carpeted) stairs to be the best place for it. I started on the 2nd step, and dipped until my bum just grazed the bottom step.

    150 done! Yay!

    Thank you. Yes, I do them everyday but Sunday. Sunday is a stretching day. But even on Sunday it's nice if people check in when they are done stretching.

    Okay, I totally think that I was born without triceps!!!!!!!! :mad: I managed to do 30 (3 sets of 10) before my arms gave out complety! :sad: I am sorry everyone...I have NEVER been able to do a "regular" push-up or a pull-up in my entire life. Tri-cep dips are just not my thing........yet!!! I will succeed one day and now I know that I need to work even harder on my arms, so tricep dips are in my future daily workout! :wink:
