Modified Dips: Sit on a flat platform and place both hands next to your hips keeping the hands forward. Make sure the palms are firmly against the platform and extend your legs forward. Bend your knees and lift your hips forward clearing the platform bending your elbows at a 90-degree angle. Slowly press up from the start position keeping the pressure on the triceps muscles until fully extended. Slowly return to the start position and make sure your hips stay in line by keeping the abdominal muscles tight.
