Arm Curl

Sit upright on a chair with your legs open and your feet flat on the floor.
Your hand is holding a weight (or you're wearing a wrist weight as shown in the
drawing).
Flex your bicep muscle as you raise the weighted forearm.
Bend your elbow and "curl" the weight to shoulder level.
Slowly return your arm to the starting position.
