Using one dumbbell, bend over with your back straight and lift your elbow back to 90 degrees. Straighten it back while keeping your elbow high the whole time.

Using dumbbells, hold one in each hand down by your sides with your palms facing out. Curl up to 90 degrees for 7 reps, then start at the top and open halfway to 90 degrees for 7 reps, then full curl for 7 reps.

Using two dumbbells, (beginning=light weight, intermediate=medium weight, advanced=heavy weight) start with both arms by your sides with thumbs up/palms facing your legs. Curl up one arm towards your body/bicep, then return to starting and switch arms, alternating on each rep.

Intermediate (my mom in the middle) – Holding two medium weights, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend at the waist and reach down towards your toes with a flat back and a slight bend in your knees so it stretches the back of your legs, then stand.
