How to Perform a Dumbbell Curl

For me dumbbells are a great way to perform various exercises. They give you the freedom of moving around and not being stationed to one machine or an entire bar. As with any exercise program, you should consult with a physician before beginning.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• One or two dumbbells at a weight that is comfortable for you.

1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with your arms at your sides.
2. Slowly lift the weight (you can lift them together or alternate, it is up to you, I alternate them) turning the dumbbell as you lift, so that the palm of your hand would then be facing towards you, bending your elbow (of course) until the weight touches your chest.
3. Now slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
4. Repeat with each arm until you each the desired amount of repetitions.
