Technique

  1. This is a good way to warmup the wrists and get them ready for more intense activities (such as balancing on your hands).
  2. Get on all fours, with the palms down and fingers facing forward.
  3. Perform circles around your wrists, leaning forward to put some pressure on your wrists.
  4. Each circle counts as one repetition, whichever direction you go (make sure to work both directions equally).
Logging: Perform circles continuously, alternating or switching halfway.
