"The next exercise I’m going to perform is a bicep curl. You can do this sitting or standing. I will demonstrate both sitting and standing for you, with or without your hand weights – arms are going to come by your side, feet together, knees together, abs really tight, palms facing forward and exhale as you lift. Curl all the way up and lower all the way down as you inhale. Extend those arms but you don’t want to lock them. Exhale as you lift, inhale lower. Exhale lift, inhale lower. Very good. If you feel that you have a bit more balance and you want to challenge yourself, go ahead and stand up. Feet are going to come hip with apart, palms facing forward and exhale lift and only moving those arms and inhale lower. Exhale lift and lower. Very good. Keep the abs tight. Lift and lower. "
