Stand straight, feet hip-width apart, a kettlebell in each hand.

3
Curl the kettlebells upwards by bending at the elbows until your forearm forms a 90-degree angle with your upper arm.

Repeat for the programmed number of reps. Avoid using your back or shoulders to lift - the motion should come entirely from your biceps.
