Wrist Roller
The wrist roller is an effective wrist and forearm strengthening exercise that uses rotational movement with weights.
Instructions
- Stand upright, holding a wrist roller in both hands in front of you.
- Start with a weight that you can control easily, attaching it to the end of the wrist roller.
- Extend your arms in front of you, parallel to the floor.
- Slowly roll your wrists forward to wrap the rope or cord around the roller, lifting the weight.
- After reaching the top, unwind the weight by rolling your wrists backward.
- Repeat the process for your desired amount of repetitions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too heavy a weight, causing poor form or discomfort.
- Allowing the arms to drop instead of keeping them parallel to the floor.
- Rolling too quickly, reducing effectiveness or straining the wrists.
