Dumbbell Curls

Step 1: Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart. Hold the dumbbells on sides of your thighs. Curl the dumbbell up as you squeeze the biceps and bend your arms.

Step 2: Make your elbows a steady pivot point and lift the weight only as high till your elbows remain stationery.

Avoid this mistake: Make sure to keep your back straight at all times. It has been observed that during this exercise many individuals swing or bend their back unintentionally. Not only does that decrease the effectiveness of the workout, but also hinders in optimum muscle growth and also causes lower back pain in the longer run.

Step 3: Lower weight slowly back to staring position. Repeat with other arm.
