The Bench dip exercise is an exercise where you will just need yourself and a short table or bench that is almost knee level.  To start this exercise, you will need to sit on the bench.  Put your hands next to your hips and walk your legs forward.  Your heels of your hands will support your weight while your fingers will curl around the edge of the bench.  Make sure to hold in your stomach muscles tight and hold your body close to the bench.  The movement in the bench dip exercise is to lower the tailbone towards the ground using the arms.  The knees, elbows, and shoulders will be exercised as well.  When at the bottom of the movement, push into the bench to return to the starting position.  As you descend, make sure each time that your spine is descending parallel to the legs of the bench.
