You worked the front of your upper arm (biceps) on the last exercise, now work the back of your upper arm
(triceps) to balance it out. Start with your hands placed on a bench or stair, back flat and legs out in front of you. The further
your legs are from the bench, the harder it will be. Keeping
your hips close to the bench, lower yourself close to the ground by bending your elbows out
behind you. Don't let your shoulders shrug up - try to keep as much distance as you can between
your shoulders and your ears.

Once you are only about an inch off the ground, lift yourself back up. You should feel your triceps,
at the back of your upper arms working.
Repeat the exercise about 15-25 times, then stand up and begin jumping. Pretend
you are holding a jump rope in your hands as you jump. If you don't want to jump, simply tap your heels
in front of you instead. Beginners should aim to jump for about 15 seconds, more advanced can build
up to a minute or more. Intermediate and advanced exercisers should repeat the entire tricep dips/jump
combo once more time.
