How to do it
- Set the seat so the handles or pad sit near your chest or shoulders. Choose a light weight.
- Hook your feet under the rollers or on the footrest and hold the handles.
- Curl your upper body forward and down by tightening your stomach — not by pulling with your arms.
- Return slowly to upright — don't let the plates crash.
Breathing: Breathe out as you curl forward, breathe in as you return.
How much to start with: 2–3 sets × 10–15 reps
❌ Common mistakes
- Pulling the weight with your arms.
- Using too much weight and jerking it.
⚠️ Safety
- Ask the gym staff or a trainer to help you set the seat and weight the first time.
