Instructions
1. Sit or stand with your elbow bent at approximately 90 degrees, and hold a dumbbell or attach a resistance band to a secure object at one end. If using a resistance band, grip the other end with the hand of the arm you wish to exercise.
2. Start with the dumbbell or your hand in a neutral position, where your thumb is pointing upwards (like a thumbs-up sign).
3. Slowly rotate your wrist until your palm faces down, keeping the rest of your arm still. This rotation should be controlled and focus mainly on the movement of the wrist.
4. Pause at the pronation position (palm facing down) before returning to the neutral, thumbs-up position.
5. Complete the desired number of repetitions and then switch arms if necessary.
6. Perform this exercise for several sets with adequate rest between sets.
7. Always ensure proper form to avoid injury and consult with a fitness professional if you are unfamiliar with this exercise.
Note: If a dumbbell is not available, you can perform this exercise using other objects that provide resistance, such as a water bottle or a small weighted object that is easy to grip. The key is to apply resistance during the pronation movement to engage and strengthen the forearm muscles effectively.
