Description

Wrist circles are a simple yet effective exercise to improve wrist mobility and flexibility.

Starting Position

Stand or sit with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and arms extended in front of you at shoulder height.

Technical Execution

Start by moving your wrists in circular motion, first clockwise and then counterclockwise. Keep the movement fluid and controlled.

Range of Motion

Perform full circles in both directions, ensuring you're using the full range of motion of the wrist joint.

Variations

You can vary the size of the circles, the speed of the movement, or incorporate resistance bands for added challenge.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include moving the entire arm instead of just the wrist joint, performing the circles too quickly, or applying excessive pressure on the wrists.

Practical Advice

Focus on controlled and smooth movements, maintain proper posture throughout the exercise, and breathe naturally.

Additional Notes
