Way to go team! For February’s Skill of the Month, we’re looking forward to see what you can do with your Ring Dips! Be sure to add Ring Dips into your warm-up so you get lots of practice before we re-test them at the end of the month. Good luck, folks!
Q.O.D – Did you enjoy testing and retesting your Pushups? What do you want the March Skill to be? Have you been practicing your dips for the month of February?
