Day 18 - Bicep Curls
By WWTW Fundraising on
We're moving onto Day Seventeen of our Longest Day 80 calendar! Today's challenge: bicep curls.
Why bicep curls?
Bicep curls improve muscle strength and endurance in the upper arm. This can enhance overall arm strength, making daily activities easier and more efficient. Bicep curls can be performed with various equipment such as dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, or even bodyweight exercises. This makes them versatile and accessible, suitable for different fitness levels and settings.
The challenge
Today's challenge is to complete 80 bicep curls.
You don’t have to do all 80 bicep curls at once. Break them into manageable sets that suit your fitness level. For example:
- 8 sets of 10 bicep curls
- 4 sets of 20 bicep curls
Challenge yourself to see how many you can complete. Remember to choose a weight appropriate for your ability and listen to your body to avoid injury.
Tips for success
- Choose the Right Weight: Select a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain good form.
- Maintain Good Form: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, hold the weights with your palms facing forward, and curl the weights towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows close to your body.
Watch the video below where Dave demonstrates the proper technique:
