    Improving wrist mobility is vital for athletes, musicians, and even for those who type a lot.

    This article features five focused exercises to enhance performance and reduce injury risks.

    It provides a simple routine to incorporate these exercises into your daily life, aiming for improved strength and flexibility in your wrists.

    Use your other hand to gently pull back on the fingers of your extended hand until you feel a stretch on the underside of your forearm.

    Hold for 15-30 seconds, then switch to the other arm.

    This exercise replicates movements we often use in daily life that involve forearm rotation and grip strength, making it excellent for enhancing functional flexibility.

    Hold a towel with both hands shoulder-width apart and twist it as though you're wringing out water, first in one direction and then the other.

    Do three sets of 10 twists in each direction, making sure you feel the burn in your forearms with each twist.

    Repeat this process 10 times with each hand.

    This exercise enhances muscle endurance, dexterity, and range of motion in hands and forearms.

    Curl

    Reverse curl

    Reverse curls target the brachioradialis muscle in the lower forearm, essential for gripping and rotational actions such as opening doors.

    Hold dumbbells at your sides, standing with your palms facing down.

    Curl the weights up towards your shoulders, ensuring to keep your elbows close to your body and your upper arms stationary.

    Perform three sets of eight repetitions each, focusing on slow, controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.
