Our wrists aren’t exactly the first body part that comes to mind when we think about getting fitter. Wrist pain can be common for those who train often, particularly with weight lifting. That said, almost everyone can benefit from stronger wrists! These five exercises can improve wrist strength in just 10 minutes, and all you’ll need are a very, very light pair of dumbbells, or you could even use a slim water bottle.
According to sports nutrition brand MyProtein, “The strength of your wrists plays a major role in stabilising your arms during movements such as the bench press, deadlift and overhead presses.” Gym accessories, like wrist wraps and some gym gloves with wrist support, can be worn for extra stability and to keep your wrists in a neutral position, but you should also strengthen your wrists naturally, so give these exercises a go.
