The Dumbbell One Arm Seated Bicep Curl on Exercise Ball is a variation of the traditional bicep curl that adds an element of instability by performing the exercise while seated on an exercise ball. This helps to engage the core muscles for added stability and balance.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell One Arm Seated Bicep Curl on Exercise Ball, follow these steps:1. Sit upright on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the floor and dumbbell in one hand.
2. Hold the dumbbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up) and extend your arm fully down towards the floor.
3. Keeping your elbow close to your side, slowly curl the dumbbell up towards your shoulder, contracting your bicep muscles.
4. Hold the top position for a second, then slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one arm, then switch to the other arm.
Tips for proper form:
- Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise.
- Use a controlled and deliberate movement, avoiding swinging or jerking the weight.
- Focus on squeezing your bicep at the top of the movement for maximum muscle engagement.
- Start with a light weight to ensure proper form, then gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
