Video Series - Alternating Bicep Curls with Balance

Muscle Matters! Here is exercise number five of our top five exercises for maintaining strength.

Oh sure, there’s is nothing more stereotypical than a bicep curl! And yet this basic exercise which works the front of your upper arms is important for daily movements as simple as picking up a bag of groceries. Working this muscle is also critical to holding up your forearms as you run. Have you ever tried to run without your arms? As the legs fatigue or when running uphill we rely even more on our arms. Developing muscle endurance in your upper body can be invaluable to keep you going.

Adding in a single leg balance with this exercise forces more attention to engaging your glutes and core and provides balance-training practice. Balance training is not usually something that we think of until we are much older and overall poor balance and strength contribute to falls and injury. Adding balance training to your usual strength training regiment now is a great way to make sure you are maintaining this critical component of daily living.
