Resistance Band Biceps Curls

Where Did Resistance Bands Come From? Resistance bands originated in the early 1900s and were made from surgical tubing. Their original purpose was muscle rehabilitation, though the photos from exercises at that time look similar to exercises used for strength today. The bands made a comeback in the fitness market during the 1990s and have continued to increase in popularity. (verywellfit.com) How to: 1. Ensure that your elbows are close to your torso but not attached to it. Keep your upper arms stationary, moving your elbows just slightly in front of your shoulders when you pull the band up. 2. Don't lean your body forward and sway just to generate momentum. Keep your body steady. If you lean forward so you could lift the weight up, it means the weight is probably too heavy for you. 3. Stand straight, legs about shoulder-width apart. You can also take a seat or back against a wall to help you check if you're generating momentum.
