What Is The Hammer Curl?

     The hammer curl is an exercise that will help you build muscle strength, improve balance, and help with your cardiovascular health. It's a great form of exercise to do on a regular basis as it helps with many different fitness goals.

     There are three major actions in the hammer curl: lifting the weight, lowering down in a controlled manner, and then returning to the starting position. 

To do the hammer curl correctly, follow these steps:

  1. Raise your arms and hold them at shoulder height with your palms facing each other.
  2. Keeping your back straight and shoulders back, bend over at your waist until you have flexed both elbows fully (your forearms should be parallel to the floor).
  3. Keep a slight bend in your knees so that you're only bending from waist up.
  4. Now push off from that flexed position by extending one arm towards the ceiling while keeping the other arm still extended and bent at about 45 degrees.
  5. Bend that extended arm again and bring it back to where it was before (left edge of the body), which will cause you to switch hands for this round of curls.
  6. After switching hands, extend that left arm until it's parallel again (or slightly higher if necessary), then lower yourself down quickly into a controlled descent until you touch down on both feet again at the starting position.
