October Fitness Challenge: 1-Minute Tricep Dip Challenge

1-Minute Tricep Dip Challenge

Starting October 1 through October 31, join our Fitness Challenge and put your arm strength, endurance, and mental toughness to the test!

The goal is simple: complete as many tricep dips as possible in 60 seconds. Dips may be performed on a bench or dip station, with elbows bending to approximately 90 degrees and arms fully extending at the top of each rep. Participants may pause in the up position, but the clock will continue to run. Proper form must be maintained for all reps to count. A Wellness Coach or Personal Trainer must be present to time the challenge, count reps, and verify official results.

The challenge takes place throughout October at any YMCA of Central Florida Family Center. Association winners will be recognized in the following categories: Men’s, Women’s, Youth 12+, and 65+.
