2. Position Your Arms Place your palms flat on the floor, keeping your hands about shoulder-width apart.
3. Lift Your Upper Body Press through your palms and lift the upper half of your body off the ground. As you push up, bend your elbows and pull your chest towards your hands, arching your back slightly. Your legs should remain flat on the floor.

Benefits:

Reverse dips, when performed on the ground with your body lifted, help strengthen the upper back, shoulders, and triceps. This movement is effective for increasing upper body mobility and improving flexibility, particularly for the shoulders. It also engages the core and lower back muscles, contributing to improved posture and upper body stability. It can be a beneficial exercise for anyone looking to enhance their upper body strength, posture, and flexibility, especially for those who spend long periods seated or need a gentle, equipment-free movement.
