Wrist Circles

Setup

1. 01Stand tall with elbows bent and hands in front of the chest.
2. 02Make loose fists or interlace the fingers.
3. 03Relax the shoulders so movement comes only from the wrists.

Execution

1. 01Rotate the wrists slowly through the largest pain-free circles you can make.
2. 02Complete the target reps in one direction.
3. 03Reverse and circle the same number in the opposite direction.
4. 04Gradually increase the circle size as the joints warm up.

Checkpoints

• -Circles cover the full available range, not tiny wiggles.
• -Movement stays smooth without catching or clicking pain.
• -Both directions get equal reps.

Common mistakes

• -Spinning fast through a small range instead of slow full circles.
• -Moving the forearms instead of the wrists.
• -Skipping the reverse direction.
• -Pushing through sharp joint pain.
