How to: Dumbbell Hammer Curl on Exercise Ball
- Sit on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the ground and your knees at a 90-degree angle.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms hanging down by your sides, palms facing inwards.
- Curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows close to your body.
- Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much momentum to lift the weights.
- Hunching the shoulders instead of keeping them relaxed.
- Not fully extending your arms during the lowering phase.
Modifications

- Try sitting on a bench instead of an exercise ball if you have balance issues.
Tips
- Ensure you maintain a straight back while performing the curl to avoid strain.
- Control the movement to maximize muscle engagement.
