🚫 Stop Doing This During Bicep Curls!

Using momentum, swinging your back, or letting your elbows travel can take the work away from your biceps and increase your risk of injury.

✅ Try this instead: • Stand tall with your core engaged • Keep elbows pinned to your sides • Lift with control • Lower slowly • Focus on muscle contraction, not the weight

Watch the difference proper form can make! 💪

You don't have to do it all to make progress. 💙

Showing up for yourself can look different every day. Sometimes it's choosing a healthy meal, taking a walk or tackling a goal you've been working toward. Other times, it's slowing down, resting and giving yourself grace.

No matter what it looks like, progress is still progress.
