Today's Workout - 3 Moves to Target Your Triceps
These 3 exercises are designed to tone up your triceps and upper arms.

1. Tricep extension with band - Let on a step and loop a resistance band underneath the end of the step where your head is. Hold an end of the band in each hand and place your hands on either side of your forehead with your palms facing in, elbows bent. Straighten arms, bringing your knuckles toward the ceiling. Return to start and repeat 10 to 15 times.
   
2. Dips with swing - Sit on step with legs slightly bent and feet flat on the floor. Place hands on step by thighs. Slide butt off of step and bend elbows to drop hips 3 inches from floor. Straighten arms and slide hips back without sitting down. Repeat 10 to 15 times.
   
3. Triceps push up - Lie on your left side with your legs together and slightly bent. Place left hand on right hip and right hand on floor in front on left shoulder. Extend right arm, lifting left shoulder off of the floor. Bend elbow to lower, without touching shoulders to floor. Repeat 10 to 15 times.

Your triceps are at their strongest when your elbow is positioned below your shoulder. What makes dips one of the best tricep exercises is that the favourable alignment of the arm enables you to lift a lot of weight. When performing dips on the parallel bars, keep the torso upright to optimally target the triceps as the more you lean forward, the more the chest will be involved in the movement.
