    [censored] your hip to one side, bat your eyelashes, and give a "come hither"
    look while crooking your pointer finger.

    It helps if you can wear an aqua underwire workout bra.

  3. Found this while searching in newsgroups, but it sounds dangerous:

    Finger curls are where you get a large weight on a bar bell (start with

    a little below body weight) and then let the bar roll down your fingers

    to where you have something akin to an open climbing grip. Hold it
    there
    for a count of 5 or so and then roll it back. Don't do to many of
    these
    though, especailly at first.

    When I do dumbbell wrist curls I usually let the dumbbell roll as far out on
    my fingers as I can. I then start the upward motion by closing my fist, i.e.
    rolling the dumbbell back in at the same time as I curl the wrist. I don't
    know how proper this is. It just kind of happened that way and it feels good
    for all the small little muscles in my hands, wrists and fore arms.

    I stand with two dumbbells hanging at my sides. I let them roll
    out to my finger tips for about 3 seconds then roll them back up
    for one rep. There is no intentional wrist action other than
    what's needed because of the change in position. At first do 2
    sets of 15-20 reps, then over the weeks add weight and drop the
    reps. Don't work your grip as an isolation exercise more than
    twice a week.

    Another way to work your grip is to just grip the dumbbells and
    let them pull loose. It should take about 30 seconds for them to
    fall. If one falls first, let the other one drop. I do this
    seated so they don't have far to drop. You can also use a bar
    for this.

    How out of touch am I? Is it the color; aqua? The fact that it's
    underwire? Or the fact that it's a sports bra? Is it widely
    accepted that girls just don't wear one of these or is this a
    personal thing? I need to know. 🙂
