To do tricep extensions with a barbell to the chin, begin by lying down on a workout bench.  Hold a very light weight barbell a few inches over your chest.  Make sure that you grip the bar so that your palms are turned away from you.  Clench your abs and press the barbell up to the ceiling.  Now bend at the elbows and lower the bar until it touches your chin.  Lift the bar again until your arms are straight.  Repeat the motion for 2 sets of 12 repetitions.

Here’s an exercise that you can do to help strengthen your leg muscles.  Start by picking up a light weight body bar.  Place it behind your head, holding it up by your shoulders and your arms.  Stand facing your workout bench.   Clench your abs as you step up on the bench, placing one foot at a time on its surface.  Now step down in the same order that you used to step up.  Repeat for 2 sets of 5 repetitions on each leg.
