Beginning
Beginning Walking Cable Curl for the Biceps
Curl the cable weight toward your chest while exhaling. Only your forearms, which should rise from the elbow, should move. Hold for one second at the apex of the contraction. Allow the cable weight to return the arms to their lower resting position by inhaling and unbending the arms at the elbow.
Movement

1. Adjust the cable arms to the lowest position, and select the appropriate resistance.
2. Hold a handle in each hand, and stand facing one of the cable arms off to one side. Step back until you feel the tension on the cable.
3. Start with a shoulder-width stance and then draw up your spine, making sure that your head, shoulders, hips, and knees are in line. Your arms should be fully extended and slightly in front of you, dragged forward by the resistance on the cable. Your palms should face the ceilings.
4. Lean back a little, and bend your knees slightly. Tighten your abdominals and draw your shoulders down away from your ears. Bend your elbows and curl the handles up to shoulder-height. You'll find there's a different level of resistance between the two arms.
5. Lower your arms and take a step to the side so that you are now equidistant to the two cable arms, and perform a biceps curl. The resistance should be roughly equal between both arms this time. Lower your arms, and take another step to the side so that you are facing the other cable arm off to the other side and perform another bicep curl. There'll be a different level of resistance between the two arms. Reverse the movement to return to the original position. Keep moving from side to side until the required repetitions are completed.
