Can you do 100 Bicep Curls before your next meeting?

3 Mar

If your brain gets a workout, your biceps should too.

Your arms aren’t just there to move your mouse and type on the keyboard, they work hard for you every day, every time you lift, pull, or carry something. They help you with grip, balance and control.

Yet, if the heaviest thing they lift is your coffee cup… they might not be pulling their weight (literally)..

Benefits of Bicep Curls:

Your biceps play a key role in almost everything you do, bending your arms at the elbow, lifting objects, and stabilising your shoulders.

When they’re weak, other muscles compensate, leading to strain on your neck, shoulders, and back.

And here’s something to consider: biceps are one of the first muscles to weaken with age. That means lifting, pulling, and even catching yourself in a fall gets harder, unless you actively maintain their strength.

Strength training for your biceps:

Prevents muscle loss – Helps maintain independence as you age.
Reduces injury risk – Stronger arms = better support for shoulders, elbows & wrists.
Improves posture & stability – Activates shoulder & back muscles, reducing desk slouch.
Boosts functional strength – Lifting, carrying, and movement feels easier.

Active Break Challenge : 100 Banded Bicep Curls

For the next week, whenever you have five spare minutes, before a meeting, during a break, or while waiting for the kettle to boil, grab a resistance band and get curling.

Here’s how to start:

Grab a resistance band – No band? No problem. Use a water bottle, backpack, or whatever has some weight.
Set a timer for 5 minutes – 100 reps is the target, but just see how far you can go. It’s a longer five minutes than you think once the burn kicks in.
Go at your own pace – Smash through in sets of 25 or take it steady. Either way, those last few reps will probably feel like a bit of a battle.
