How to do the Dumbbell Standing Wrist Curl
Start by standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing up and your arms fully extended along your body.
Keep your elbows close to your torso so that they do not move during the exercise. This will isolate the wrist movement.
Curl your wrists upward as far as possible without moving the rest of your arm.
Squeeze your forearm muscles at the top of the movement for a second.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Repeat the motion for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Tips: Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form. Avoid using your body to swing the weight; keep the motion controlled. Focus on smooth, controlled wrist movements. To prevent injury, do not curl the wrist back too fast or too far. As with any exercise, if you feel any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately and consult with a fitness professional.
