Dumbbell curl
Learn a simple arm movement with light dumbbells.
How to do it
- Stand tall with a light dumbbell in each hand and your palms facing forward.
- Keep your elbows close to your sides as you bend them to lift the weights.
- Slowly lower the weights until your arms are comfortably straight.
Form check
Keep your wrists in line with your forearms. Use a weight that allows you to stay still without swinging.
Make it easier
Reduce the range of movement and use a stable support where appropriate.
Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
