Expert Advice

Hold the handle only firmly enough to keep it secure. Crushing it can tire your grip before your wrist extensors.

  2. Pin the band beneath your working-side foot and grasp its handle with your palm down.
  3. Lean forward, resting your forearm on your same-side thigh with your hand beyond your knee.
  4. Raise your knuckles by extending your wrist, keeping your forearm pressed against your thigh.
  5. Lower your hand slowly into a comfortable wrist bend without letting the band pull abruptly.
  6. Complete the programmed reps on this wrist, then switch sides and repeat.
