Instructions

  1. Start Position:

    • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

    • Hold the wrist roller handle or dumbbell with both hands, palms facing each other (neutral grip).

    • Let the weight hang down in front of you.

  2. Body Positioning:

    • Keep your elbows close to your body and slightly bent.

    • Ensure your core is engaged to maintain stability.

    • Stand upright with good posture, shoulders back and relaxed.

  3. Movement:

    • Slowly roll the handle of the wrist roller towards your body by rotating your wrists.

    • As you roll, allow the weight to come off the ground, engaging your forearms.

    • Continue rolling until your hands reach your chest level or as far as comfortable.

  4. Lowering the Weight:

    • Once you reach the top position, reverse the movement by slowly rotating your wrists back to the starting position.

    • Ensure control while lowering the weight to avoid any jerky movements.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Perform 8 to 12 repetitions for 2 to 3 sets.

    • Rest for about 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets.

  6. Tips:

    • Focus on controlled movements; avoid using momentum.

    • Adjust the weight as necessary to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.

  7. Cool Down:

    • After completing your sets, stretch your forearms gently to help with recovery.
