【Tips for body shaping】:

The "seated triceps extension" exercise mainly trains the back of our arms. During the exercise, we must keep our upper arms stable and our head should not be tilted. The elbow angle needs to be stable, and a steady rate must be maintained when raising and lowering. During the movement, it is important to keep the body stable. Pay attention to the stability of the core muscles and maintain normal breathing without holding your breath to prevent compression of the lumbar spine.

Seated triceps extension exercise, do 15 on each side, rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and do 3 sets in total.
