Skinny Dipping Dip Station Workout 20 min
2013
This dip station workout is a 20 minute workout made up of intervals. It has lots of new dip station exercises alternated with a great abs exercise to really work the abs muscles. A Swiss ball is used in some of the exercises, which adds to the variety. But if you don’t have a Swiss ball no worries, variations are given below. This is a great upper body workout that will leave you feeling it in your arms and abs the next day. The workout is fun and the time goes by fast.
I love my dip station but go through phases of working out with it. After a good workout using it, like this one, I always wonder why I don’t use it more often. I love to change up the equipment I use, alternating using the sandbag, Ugi, dumbbells and bodyweight. So it’s great to use the dip station again. It really changed it up again, which is great for the body, for building different muscles and to keep you out of getting into a rut and plateauing!
The dip station is great and if you don’t have a one, I have links to the best prices for it I could find here on my Resource page. You can find more info on the Gymboss interval timer and online links to interval timers by clicking these links.
So grab your timers and get out your dip stations and let’s workout!
