Propping yourself at the edge of a weight bench or chair, plant feet firmly on the ground as your hands rest on each side of your bent knees. Using your arms, gradually, lower your body off the weight bench. Keep your back absolutely straight and then return to the beginning position. Perform this exercise until your muscles feel slightly fatigued.


¥ Curls

Standing with your feet hip-width apart, keep your head up and shoulders back. Using dumbbells with your hands resting in front of you and your palms out, at the elbow bend your arm and slowly ÒcurlÓ the weight toward the direction of your chest. Repeat 8-12 times and then alternate arms.

¥ Push outs

Using either a weight bench or chair to support the body, place your resting arm on your bended knee. Employ your free hand to pull the weight up to tuck under an arm. Simultaneously, keep your arm erect with the elbow pointing back. Gingerly, Òpush outÓ or kick back to your lower arm until it is fully extended. Start again form the tucked position to repeat and alternate arms.
