Wrist Circles

Loosens the wrists after a long stretch at the keyboard.

Wrist Circles, standing position

30s hold · standing

Slow, round circles. Both directions.

  1. Let your arms hang, or rest your forearms on a desk.
  2. Make loose fists, or keep your fingers relaxed.
  3. Circle both wrists slowly, drawing the widest circle you can.
  4. Halfway through, reverse the direction.

Tips: Slow beats fast. Let the joint find its full range. Keep your shoulders down. The movement is all in the wrists.

Easier: Rest your forearms on a table if holding them up gets tiring. One wrist at a time if both together feels awkward.
