Instructions:
- 1Stand up straight with a dumbbell in one hand, arm fully extended, and palm facing your torso
- 2Curl the weights while contracting your biceps, continue to raise the weights until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Hold this contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze your biceps
- 3Slowly begin to bring the dumbbells back to the starting position as your breathe in
- 4Repeat the same movement with your other arm for the prescribed amount of repetitions
- 5Switch hands and repeat the process
Tips:
- Do not use your back or shoulders to lift the weights; your hands should do the work
- Keep your elbows close to your torso at all times
- Do not use your thighs to help you lift the weights, only your biceps should be moving
- Avoid swinging motions to ensure your biceps do the work
