Hello. My name is Mimi and welcome to Sexy Shoulders. Today, I'm going to show you a triceps exercise. We're going to need a bench or a chair or a step, whatever. It works for you. I want you to come down to the floor and put your hands right behind your body. You're going to bring the body forward just a little bit off the bench. I want you to keep your shoulders back and your chest out the whole time. Don't let it curve. Keep it up. Keep that posture up. Keep your abs into your spine. And now, I want you to bend both elbows down to about 45 degrees going parallel to the step and then push it back up through your palms. Okay, let's start with level 1, two legs down. Up and down, up and down. Push through your palms and breathe and keep that posture. Keep your chest out, very important. That's it. Now, if it was just too easy for you, you can take it to level 2. And simply elevating one leg, it will make this exercise way harder. So, I can now really feel it on my triceps. And then switch other leg, same thing. You can do about 15 to 20 repetitions of this exercise. Let's do a couple more, back to level 1. Down, up, down, up, and rest. So, that's your first set. You can do two or three sets of this exercise. So, that's it, you guys. This is you Sexy Shoulders for today. My name is Mimi and I'll see you soon. [MUSIC PLAYING]
