Exercise of The Week: Biceps Curl

Biceps Curl

Last week I mentioned that I was going to try and build up the exercises into a challenge for next month. We will be focusing on arms this month, so hopefully you will be able to get a set of dumbbells. Our exercise for this week is biceps curl. This is a wonderful and straight forward exercise that you could sneak in during commercial breaks! So how do you do it?

Start off by hold a pair of dumbbells at your sides. Make sure that your palms face forward, and keep your back straight. It is very important that you use proper form and do not slouch. You should look like A. Now, without moving your upper arms you are going to bend your elbows and curl the weights  up toward your shoulders. You should look like B. Next you are going to slowly lower the weights back to the starting position. That’s one rep. Just do 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps to your regular workout. That is all there is to it.
