Instructions for Proper Form

Setup:

  1. Position: Stand on the middle of a resistance band with both feet, about shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grip: Hold one end of the band in each hand with an underhand (palms facing up) grip.
  3. Stance: Stand tall with your arms extended at your sides, feeling slight tension in the band.

The Movement:

  1. Curl (One Arm): Keeping one arm stationary, exhale and curl the other arm's hand up towards your shoulder. Keep your elbow pinned to your side.
  2. Squeeze: Squeeze your bicep at the top of the movement.
  3. Lower & Alternate: Inhale and slowly lower the band back to the starting position. As you do, begin curling the opposite arm up.
  4. Continue: Continue alternating between arms for the desired number of reps.

Tips:

  • To increase resistance, stand with a wider stance or use a heavier band.
  • Avoid leaning back or using momentum to lift the band.
  • Maintain constant tension in the band throughout the exercise.
