Resistance Band Hammer Curl

• Hold the ends of the band in each hand, palms facing each other, with your arms fully extended along your sides.
• Slowly curl your hands towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows close to your body and maintaining the palms facing each other position.
• Pause for a moment at the top of the curl, squeezing your biceps.
• Gradually lower your hands back to the starting position, resisting the pull of the band, to complete one repetition. Repeat this exercise for your desired number of sets and reps.

• **Controlled Movement**: Make sure to perform the curling motion in a controlled manner. Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the band. Instead, focus on using your biceps to perform the action. This will ensure you're getting the most out of the exercise and not risking injury.
• **Full Range of Motion**: Ensure you are using a full range of motion in your curls. This means fully extending your arms at the bottom of the movement and fully contracting your biceps at the top. Avoid the common mistake of only doing half curls which limit the effectiveness of the exercise.
• **Keep Your Elbows Stationary**: Your elbows should stay close
