Tip

Remember to keep your back straight with your abdominal muscles tight when doing this exercise - not only will this reduce the risk for back injury but also reduces your movement and makes your biceps do all the work. Also, keep your elbows close to your sides at all times during the movement. This exercise can also be done one arm at a time, alternating arms as you go.

DISCLAIMER: Your doctor is often in the best position to evaluate whether any particular diet or exercise program is best for you. Advance consultation with your doctor is particularly important if you are under eighteen (18) years old, pregnant, nursing, or have health problems.
