Dumbbell Lunge with Bicep Curls is a great exercise for improving your functional fitness as it mimics everyday movements.
Both sides of your body are working independently which will help correct any muscular
Imbalances you may have .
At 65 I have found this exercise to be very beneficial.

Standing Barbell curls primarily work the Bicep muscles , holding & lifting the barbell improves your forearm & grip strength .
The standing position requires you to engage your core muscles, shoulder & upper back muscles to maintan an upright position.
Barbell Bicep Curls also increase functional strength for everyday activities like lifting ,carrying and pulling objects .
I’ve been enjoying the benefits of weight training since I was 20.
I shall be 65 next month and guess what ?? I shall continue to enjoy the benefits of weight training
Cheers 🏋️‍♀️😊

Hi , so what’s the difference between the standard floor press ups and the SwissBall press ups ?
Using the unstable surface of the SwissBall forces your abdominals to recruit more muscle fibres over all , giving you a more complete abdominal workout .
So go grab a SwissBall and have some fun .
