Wrist Circles
A warm-up for the wrists: forearms held out in front, the hands draw slow full circles at the wrist in both directions.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, elbows bent near 90° at the sides, forearms forward, hands relaxed.
Steps
- Circle both hands slowly at the wrists, as wide as they go.
- Keep the forearms still; only the hands travel.
- Reverse the direction halfway through the set.
Common mistakes
Small, fast circles: go slow and use the whole range. Rotating the forearms instead of the wrists: the elbows and forearms stay put. Forcing a painful point: circle around it, never through it.
Breathing
Easy and steady.
