Dips can also be completed by using a chair or edge of a table. Simply place your palms on the edge of the chair (or table) with your legs outstreched before you. Your back should be facing the chair. Lower your upper body down using your arms and lift your body back up. Your feet should never leave the ground. You can really use any stable surface to do this.
