It's harder than it looks.

Remember - no rolly chairs for this one!

Dips

Begin sitting on a step or chair with hands next to thighs. Balance on your arms, moving backside in front of the step with legs straight (harder) or bent (easier). Bend the elbows and lower body a few inches, keeping the shoulders down and the elbows parallel to one another and at 90 degrees. Push back up to starting position and repeat.

Tomorrow - say "ow" as the muscles you forgot you had speak their mind. Do another set of chair dips and smile, because you are in control.

Good one! And YAY for pictures, some of the descriptions are hard to grasp without some illustration.

Unfortunately, I'm surrounded by rolly chairs. And chairs with armrests. I guess I'm off the hook...

Um, no you are not off the hook. Sorry. You'll need to come up with something better than that lame old rag of an excuse.
