Exercise Description and Instruction:
This version of the Bicep Curl throws in one of the best leg exercises, the lateral lunge.
Due to the bicep curl portion of the exercise, you can only use a limited amount of weight. Therefore, this exercise is primarily a bicep exercise and should be used in fat loss workouts rather than muscle building programs.
To Perform This Exercise:
- Grasp a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing up.
- Stand with your feet together, your back straight and your abs drawn in and allow your arms to extend down fully in front of your thighs.
- While keeping your body straight, take a step sideways and then bend your waist and your knee into a lunge.
- As you go into the lunge curl your arms up towards your shoulders contracting your biceps.
- Return to starting position and switch legs.
Tips:
- Keep your back straight, your shoulders back and your abs drawn in throughout the exercise.
- This exercise should be utilized as a fat burning exercise, rather than a muscle building exercise because you can only use as much weight for the dumbbell lunge as you would normally use for the bicep curl.
