Fitness Tips

Everybody can do this simple, old-school curl. Pick whatever dumbbell weight you feel comfortable with and sit down with the elbow of your lifting arm placed on the inside of the leg on the same side. It’s important not to have any jerky motion with this exercise – you want smooth lifting movements so make sure you don’t pick a weight that is too heavy. Now simply lift your arm upwards in a curling motion and feel your bicep muscle squeeze. Always breath out when you are working against gravity, so in this case breath out when you are lifting the weight up. I find this a really good exercise if you travel a lot and are picking up suitcases, back packs and golf bags on those trips away.
