The Dumbbell Alternating Seated Bicep Curl On Exercise Ball is a bicep curl exercise that targets the biceps while also engaging the core muscles for stability. By using an exercise ball, it adds an element of instability which requires more muscle activation to maintain balance and control throughout the movement.
