Instructions
1. Secure the resistance band at the base of a sturdy object or support structure.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing the anchor point, with a slight bend in your knees.
3. Grasp the handles of the resistance band with both hands. Your palms should be facing forward, arms extended, and hands just outside your hips.
4. Keep your elbows tucked close to your body.
5. Exhale as you curl your hands towards your shoulders, bending at the elbows and keeping your upper arms stationary.
6. Squeeze the biceps at the top of the motion, ensuring you maintain tension on the band throughout.
7. Inhale and slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement and resisting the band’s pull on the way down.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
9. Make sure to maintain good posture throughout the exercise, with your chest up and shoulders back.
Remember to adjust the resistance of the band according to your fitness level; more tension increases difficulty, while less tension makes it easier. Also, always check the integrity of your band before use to avoid any snapping or breakage.
