How to: Lying Single Legs Reverse Biceps Curl with Towel
- Lie down on your back with one leg extended straight in the air and the other leg bent in a stable position.

- Pause at the top, then slowly lower the towel back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs.
