Standing Curl (Biceps)

For all exercises, draw your abs in and roll your shoulders down and back.

For these upper body exercises, repeat for 12 perfect reps.

Holding a weight in each hand, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Tighten your biceps and, with palms forward, curl your arms up, keeping them close to your sides. Pause, squeeze your biceps a bit more, and lower slowly.
