How to: Band wrist curl
- Secure a resistance band under your foot, holding the other end with your palm facing upward.
- Keep your elbow against your thigh and curl your wrist upward, flexing the forearm.
- Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Flaring elbows outward, which can strain the shoulder.
- Using too much weight, leading to improper form.
- Rushing through the repetitions without control.
Modifications
- Use a lighter band for beginners or those with wrist pain.
- Perform the exercise seated to ensure better stability.
Tips
- Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.
- Control the motion both up and down to maximize engagement.
- Avoid using momentum; focus on squeezing the wrist flexors.
