Instructions
1. Choose an appropriate weight for the dumbbells. Begin with a weight you can lift for 10-15 reps comfortably, focusing on form.
2. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing down (overhand grip), arms extended downward.
4. Position your hands in front of you so that they are in line with your shoulders, and your elbows are close to the torso. This is your starting position.
5. Without moving your upper arms and with elbows pinned at your sides, curl the weights upwards by contracting your wrist extensors. Only your wrists should move.
6. Lift the dumbbells as high as possible while maintaining a firm grip.
7. Hold the contraction at the top for a moment, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
9. Keep the movements controlled and avoid swinging the weights to ensure you are activating the muscles effectively.
Remember to breathe properly, exhaling on the effort (lifting phase) and inhaling when returning to the starting position. As with any strength training exercise, start with lighter weights to master the technique before progressing to heavier weights to prevent injury.
