For today's Training Tip, our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, introduces a great exercise to tone our triceps (back of the arms): tricep dips. In this video, Carrie offers three different varieties of dips to try. If you are a beginner, start on the floor. If you are familiar with tricep dips, either elevating your body off the floor or using a chair are perfect variations. Dips can be hard on the shoulders, so if you have any shoulder issues, do not attempt these. Otherwise, make sure to push your shoulders back and have your arms directly behind you with the tops of your hands right under your butt.

Today, National Fitness Director and Olympian Carrie Tollefson shares with us one of her favorite training tools: the rolling stick. The stick is easy to carry in your workout bag or to have at home, and is great for loosening up the quads, hams, glutes and calves. Similar to foam rolling, the rolling stick is a form of self-massage that helps rid muscles and tissue of adhesions. It also increases blood flow and mobility to your muscles, improving recovery and performance. By the way, if you don't have a rolling stick, you can substitute a rolling pin from your kitchen! Give it a try!  |
