Side Curl
How
to Do Side Curls
1.
Lie with your knees bent and your back flattened against the floor. Tighten
your buttocks and tilt your pelvis to help you do this. Stretch your arms
flat on the floor straight at your sides.
2.
Stretch your arms out in front and use your side muscles to raise your
head and shoulders off the floor. Rotate to one side as your shoulders
lift off the floor. Hold for a count of 3. Lower your shoulders slowly
and allow them to lightly touch the floor. Repeat this exercise on the
opposite side.
Side
Curl Tip
Make
sure you rotate your torso enough so you have to use your side muscles
and keep them contracted.
