Technique

1. Sit with your forearm resting on your thigh, palm facing down and wrist just past the knee.
2. Hold one end of a band and pin the other end under your foot so there is light tension.
3. Let the wrist bend down as far as is comfortable.
4. Raise the back of your hand toward the ceiling by bending only at the wrist.
5. Lower slowly back to the start.

Cues

• Only the wrist moves; the forearm stays on the thigh.
• Use a light band and a slow, full range.

Common mistakes

• Lifting the forearm off the thigh.
• Turning the palm up partway through the rep.
• Letting the band snap the hand down.
