Add Missy Dips to your HIIT workout to burn serious calories! This is an intermediate exercise and should be performed on a stable surface prior to performing on StrongBoard Balance board. This exercise is great for strengthening the arms and shoulders. It will also help stabilize the entire scapulothoracic region along with the erector spinae and will also strengthen the entire core musculature.
