STANDING ELBOW CURLS

Stand with your back against a wall, feet parallel and hip-width apart, making sure that your heels, buttocks, upper back and the back of your head all touch the wall and remain there throughout the exercise.
With your hands in loose fists and your thumbs extended downward, place the knuckles of both hands against your temples.
Spread your elbows out as wide as you can, touching the wall if possible. This is your starting position.
Keeping your knuckles near your temples, squeeze your elbows toward one another in front of you, touching them if possible.
Reverse the movement, spreading your elbows wide again, and touching the wall if you can. That’s one rep.

Reps: 25 Coaching Points: Keep your elbows at shoulder height throughout; don’t let them drop toward the floor. Purpose: Teaches proper alignment of ankles, hips and spine while the upper back flexes and extends; mobilizes upper spine.
