The classic tricep dip at your chair, engages the triceps as well as the core. Straighten your arms behind you, and keep them engaged, as you lower yourself down and bring yourself up.

And finally, end by breaking a personal record perhaps. Drop down to the floor and see how long you can hold your plank. Today could be the day you break a record!
Ease up – 5 mins
Finally, don’t forget to cool down by stretching out your neck, arms, back, and hamstrings. This helps you keep your mobility despite all that weight training.
