Structure Fitness Exercise of the Week: Resistance Band Hammer Curls






Resistance Band Hammer Curls is an alternative exercise to the traditional hammer curls (with dumbbells). Rather than feeling the majority of the weight in the bottom position, you will feel a greater resistance load at the top position (near your shoulders). Using a resistance band will provide a much different sensation than the traditional exercise which is incredibly beneficial both physiologically and mentally. Consistently changing workout regimens and incorporating new exercises into your program will make training more exciting. We regularly use resistance bands in our NYC Fitness Boot Camps.

Instructions:

1. Stand with one foot on the middle of the resistance band with feet hip width apart, knees slightly bent
2. Relax your arms by your side so the handles are pointing forwards
3. Keeping the handles facing forwards, slowly raise your hands towards your shoulders until the end of the handles touches your shoulders
4. Now slowly return your hands back to the starting position
