a) Stand with your feet parallel with your shoulders. Make sure you have a firm grip on the bar bell while you are lifting it up to your chest.
b) Remember to keep you back straight as you lift the weight up to your chest.
c) Keep your pectoral muscle in mind when you curl the bar bell, you want to make your curl just slightly above that muscle.
d) With elbows to your side, raise bar until forearms are completely vertical to your bicep, then lower until arms are fully extended. Then repeat.
e) For the maximum results you MUST lower the bar bell down slowly. Do not move your elbows during this arm toning exercise. Instead, keep them solidly next to your side.
f) Remember to inhale as you go up and to exhale as you go down.

Alternate Dumb Bell Curl

A second easy toning technique is to alternate dumb bell curls. By alternating the curls it lets you concentrate on one extremity at a time. In doing this you may be able to add extra weight allowing you to intensify your toning. It works as follows:

a) Hold dumbbells with your back straight. Using the same position as with the regular bar bell curl.
b) Stand erect with your feet parallel to your shoulders and curl one dumb bell to your shoulder like you are trying to curl it all the way past your shoulder. By doing this, you will get a tighter contraction.
c) Keep palms up while lowering until past your thighs, then turn palms in. Keep upper arms close to the sides and concentrate on bicep’s while lowering and rising.
d) On the way down, slowly lower the weight as you rotate it into a resting position by your side. Alternate left & right arms. Do this toning exercise with great slow control for optimal results.
e) Remember your breathing.
