Kick with Bicep Curls

 

How to Do It

Stand with feet hip distance apart, holding light to medium dumbbells.  Slowly lift right knee until to hip level, then extend the leg until it is straight.  At the same time, flex your forearm and bring the weights up toward the shoulders in a bicep curl.  Lower weights, bend the knee and return to starting position.  Repeat (alternating legs) for 1 to 3 sets of 12-16 repetitions, with a 20-30 second rest between sets.  

This exercise works the hip flexors and quads, as well as the biceps.  It also promotes balance and stability.
