Core Strength Accessory
Instructions for use:
1.
Attach all the Velcro anchor straps with “D” rings evenly across the shorter of
the two base cross-members on the dip stand.
2.
Hook two matching elastic bands to the anchors, connecting each one to an
outside anchor and both to the inside anchor. This will create two loops in a
“B” shape.
3.
Attach an ankle strap to the middle of each elastic band loop you just made by
tightly wrapping the Velcro tab around the band several times.
4.
Enter the dip stand from the narrow side. Stand in the middle and place one
loop over each foot.
5.
Attach the ankle strap to your ankle.
6.
With your hands on the grips of the dip machine step forward enough to create
a small amount of tension on the bands.
Performing the Exercise –
READ CAREFULLY
1.
To begin, activate your core muscles by sucking in your stomach and flexing
your gluteal muscle slightly tucking your buttocks in underneath you.
2.
Stabilize the dip stand by pressing back and down from your shoulders,
through your arms and onto the grips.
3.
Maintaining correct posture also requires you to keep your shoulders down
and back or what we call
“Back & Relaxed”.
4.
Do not lean back. Keep your body line upright and balance your weight on the
front half of your feet.
