Wrist Circles is a simple and effective exercise to help improve wrist flexibility and mobility, and reduce stiffness and discomfort in the wrists. It involves rotating the wrists in circular motions to warm them up and stretch the muscles and joints.
How to perform
Instructions:1. Start by extending your arms straight in front of you at shoulder height. Your palms should be facing down towards the floor.
2. Begin by making small circular motions with your wrists, moving only your hands and keeping your arms still.
3. Gradually increase the size of the circles, moving your wrists in a smooth and controlled manner.
4. Continue rotating your wrists in one direction for about 10-15 repetitions, or for about 30 seconds.
5. Then, switch directions and rotate your wrists in the opposite direction for the same number of repetitions or time.
6. Remember to keep your movements slow and controlled, and focus on feeling the stretch in your wrists and forearms.
7. You can perform wrist circles as a warm-up before other exercises, or as a standalone exercise to help improve wrist mobility and flexibility.
8. After completing the exercise, shake out your wrists and gently stretch them if needed.
Equipment required
