EXERCISE OF THE WEEK; Week 16

Time to give our arms a little attention.  For an unexpectedly effective way to work your arms use a hand towel for a new arm curl variation.  The towel works similar to resistance bands, which increase the workload and your results. 

WEEK 16

TOWEL CURL

Proper Form: First create a sling with a towel under your thigh.  Grab each end of the towel with corresponding hands. Now pull the towel upward, trying to keep your elbow to shoulder stationary, to ensure the movement is coming from your forearm. (This will increase your biceps muscle engagement.)  Pause briefly at the top of the move and return to the starting position, repeat sets as you would using dumbbells, switching legs halfway through.

Muscles Engaged: This exercise focuses primarily on your bicep muscles.
