Day 26 - Tricep Dips
By WWTW Fundraising on
We’re so close to the end of our June calendar, and we wanted to thank you for sticking with us! We're moving onto Day 26 and back into our fitness series with tricep dips.
Tricep dips benefits
Tricep dips primarily target the triceps, the muscles at the back of your upper arms. They also engage other upper body muscles, including the shoulders, chest, and upper back, providing a well-rounded upper body workout.
The challenge
Today’s challenge is to complete 80 tricep dips throughout the day..
You don’t have to do all 80 tricep dips at once. Break it into manageable intervals that suit your fitness level. For example:
- 4 sets of 20
- 2 sets of 40
Adapt to whatever feels comfortable for you and, if you can, try extending beyond 80 tricep dips. The key is to maintain good form throughout and remember to listen to your body to avoid injury.
Tips for success
- Use Proper Form: Ensure your hands are placed shoulder-width apart on a stable surface. Lower your body until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, then push yourself back up.
- Listen to Your Body: If you feel discomfort, take a break and adjust your form as needed.
Watch the video below where Dave demonstrates the proper technique:

Day 24 - Wall Sit
By WWTW Fundraising on
We're moving onto Day 24 of our Longest Day 80 calendar and today's challenge explores the wall sit.
