Biceps Curls with Band Exercise

Starting Position

Grab each handle and place one foot on the center of the band, staggering the other foot behind you. Stand tall with back straight, abs engaged, knees soft, elbows tucked to your sides, and arms extended down, palms outward.

Action

EXHALE: Bend the elbows to curl the your hands towards your shoulders.

INHALE: Slowly straighten the elbows to return to the start position to complete one rep.

Special Instructions

Do not lean back or arch your back as you perform the curls. Keep your wrists straight and in line with the forearm, not bent. To add intensity (not pictured), step on the band with both feet, placing them wide.
