Instructions

1. Starting Position:
- Sit on a flat bench or chair with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing up and your arms resting on your thighs.

2. Hand Positioning:

- Keep your forearms stationary and only move your wrists to lift the dumbbells.
- Squeeze your forearm muscles at the top of the movement.

4. Lowering Phase:

- If you experience discomfort in your wrists, reduce the weight of the dumbbells or take a break.
- Ensure smooth and controlled movements to target the forearm muscles effectively.
