Wrist Circles
Step 1 - Extend both arms forward at shoulder height
Step 2 - Make slow circles with your wrists, keeping your arms still
Step 3 - Complete 8 circles in one direction, then reverse
Step 4 - Focus on moving only your wrists, not your entire arms
Recommended Sets & Time:
Beginner: 2 sets of 8 circles each direction, 10 seconds rest
Intermediate: 2-3 sets of 10 circles each direction, 10 seconds rest
Advanced: 3 sets of 12 circles each direction, 10 seconds rest
What to Focus On:
Wrist mobility - You should feel your wrist joints loosening up with each circle
Isolated movement - Only your wrists should move; keep your arms steady
Full range motion - Make the circles as large as your wrists comfortably allow
Preparation focus - This prepares your wrists for push-ups and planks
Modifications:
Easier: Make smaller circles or do them one wrist at a time
Harder: Make larger circles or add gentle resistance by making fists
