Instructions

How to Work Out Biceps With Elastic Bands

1. Stand with both feet on top of the elastic band. Your feet should be shoulder width apart. Make sure you do not lock your knees.

2. Grasp one end of the band in each hand. Your arms should be at your sides.

3. Curl your arms toward your shoulders. Use a slow, steady motion.

4. Lower your arms back to your sides. Use a controlled motion to lower your arms. The bands will be pulling your arms downward and you need to resist the urge to drop your hands.

5. Repeat this exercise as many times as you wish. Most trainers recommend that you do 3 sets of 10 to 20 repetitions each. If this is too easy, add more repetitions.
