Bicep Curls Exercises for Pregnant Women

Video Transcript

"Okay, bicep curls are next. Go ahead and grab your dumbbells and again I’m going to demonstrate bicep curls in a seated position first. For those of you that need to have support. Hands are going to come by your side, abs are really tight, go ahead and turn those palms out away from your body, keeping your elbows as close to your body as possible. You’re going to exhale as you lift all the way up, inhale and lower. Extend completely without locking your elbows. Exhale squeeze, inhale lower, extending all the way. Again make sure you don’t lock those elbows. When you curl up you’re going to exhale, inhale as you lower. If you’re having balance issues or control issues, drop one of the weights, support yourself on your thigh and focus on one arm at a time. Good, exhale as you lift, inhale as you lower. Exhale lift and inhale lower. Very good. For the more advanced exerciser, go ahead and grab both weights, come up to standing, feet are going to be about hip width apart, turn those palms out away from your body, shoulder blades together, abs are tight and exhale lift, inhale lower. Good, exhale lift and inhale lower. Again if you need to drop one weight, feel free to do so. Exhale lift, inhale lower. Go ahead and come down, and lift and lower. If you need additional support you can place that hand on your hip. And lift and lower. And then you’re going to switch to the opposite side, exhale lift and lower. The arm is the only thing moving so try not to rock that body back and forth. Very good. "
