How to do the band wrist curl

  1. Sit on a bench or chair with your feet flat on the ground.
  2. Hold the band with both hands, palms facing up, and rest your forearms on your thighs.
  3. Slowly curl your wrists upward, squeezing your forearms.
  4. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your wrists back down to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Sets and reps

Start with 3 sets of 10–15 reps, resting 45–60 seconds. When every set feels easy, add reps, slow the lowering phase or move to a harder variation.

Muscles worked

The main muscle is the forearms. The biceps and triceps work as secondary muscles. See all forearm exercises or every resistance band exercise.
