Guided Instructions
Warm-Up
Start by gently rotating your wrists in circular motions for 30 seconds each direction. Then, open and close your hands repeatedly to increase blood flow. This prevents stiffness and primes your forearms for engagement.
Wrist Curl
Sit on a bench or chair with your forearms resting on your thighs, palms facing up, and wrists hanging off the edge. Hold a light dumbbell in each hand and curl your wrists upward, squeezing your forearms at the top. Slowly lower back down and repeat. Keep your movements controlled to target the muscle fully.
Reverse Wrist Curl
Switch your grip so that your palms face down. Perform the same motion, curling your wrists upward and slowly lowering. This variation strengthens the top of your forearms and balances muscle development.
Farmer’s Hold
Stand tall holding two heavy dumbbells by your sides. Keep your shoulders back and grip firm. Hold for 30 seconds, focusing on maintaining posture and hand tension. This improves grip endurance and forearm stability.
Wrist Rotation
Hold a light dumbbell or household item like a water bottle in one hand. Rotate your wrist outward and inward slowly for full control. Switch sides and repeat. This enhances wrist mobility and forearm flexibility.
Cool-Down
Stretch both forearms by extending one arm in front of you, palm facing down, and gently pulling your fingers back with your other hand. Hold each stretch for 15–20 seconds. Finish with light hand shakes to relax your muscles.
