The amazing Stickie greatly
admires Mrs. Obama and Madonna because they have beautiful triceps. Stickie wants her own beautiful
triceps, so she is doing bench dips today.
To get into position, Stickie
sits on the bench with her hands gripping the bench on either side of her
body. She extends her legs out in
front of her with her heels on the ground. Then, keeping her elbows back behind her as much as
possible, she scoots her behind forward off the bench and lowers it toward the
floor by bending her arms. She
exhales to push herself back up to a straight-armed position. After about ten repetitions, she allows
herself to take a seat on the bench again to rest before the next set.
On days when Stickie needs less
of a challenge, she bends her knees, but does not cheat and use her strong legs
to lift her body back up. Stickie
knows that she can also do this exercise on other surfaces, like the kitchen
counter, that are higher and provide less of a challenge, or on a stability
ball or parallel bars at the playground with her body suspended for more of
one.
