Bicep Curls How To

1. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand with a relaxed grip.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, abdominal muscles contracted, chest out and shoulders back, your back straight and  knees slightly bent.
3. Hold the weights at your sides, keeping your arms relaxed and your palms facing inward.
4. Turn your wrists so that your palms face forward.
5. Slowly raise the weight by bending your elbow. Keep your back straight, your shoulders back and your elbows close to your side.
6. Slowly raise the weight until your knuckles are 3 or 4 inches away from your shoulders.
7. Slowly lower the weight back to its original position.

Perform up to three sets of 12 reps, depending on your fitness level. Use a weight that will leave your muscle fatigued by the end.

*Always consult your doctor before beginning any physical regimen.
