WRIST ROLLS
Wrist rolls are a mobility and light-strengthening movement where you roll your wrists through their range to loosen the joints and activate the forearm muscles. They warm the wrists and forearms and build the supple, resilient joints needed for bodyweight work that loads the hands, like planks, push-ups, and bear crawls. Hold your arms out and slowly roll your wrists in full circles, or curl and extend your hands to work the joint through its range, keeping the motion controlled and your forearms relaxed. Move in both directions for balance. Keep the pace slow and never force the joint past a comfortable range. Wrist rolls prepare the wrists before any hand-supported exercise and help relieve the tightness that accumulates from gripping and typing. Performed regularly, they keep the wrists mobile and better able to tolerate the demands of training.
