Exercise of the Week

CONCENTRATION CURL

By Joni Hyde of WorkoutsForWomen.com

The concentration curl works the front of the upper arm. Performed in a sitting position, the Concentration curl provides the arm and upper body with stability which prevents other muscle groups from assisting in the movement.

Sit on the edge of a chair and hold a 5 to 10 pound dumbbell in your right hand. Place feet flat on the floor about hip-width apart. Rest your right elbow against your right thigh. Place left hand on top of left thigh for support. Keep back straight and lean torso slightly down toward right knee.

  • Start with the right arm extended toward the floor.
  • Exhale as you slowly curl the right arm up to a 45-degree angle.
  • Then slowly lower the weight to starting position, being careful not to over extend the elbow.

Be sure to keep your wrist straight throughout the move and keep abdominal muscles pulled in tight. Complete 15 repetitions on each side.
