How to do the Resistance-Band Kneeling Wrist Flexion Curl

  • Exercise bench or sturdy surface to lean on

1. Set Up Your Space:

  • Find a flat, sturdy surface such as an exercise bench or a low table.

  • Securely attach a resistance band to a stable, low point (like the leg of the bench) if needed.

  1. Positioning:

    • Kneel on the floor with your knees about hip-width apart.

    • Place the exercise bench in front of you and position your forearms on the bench with your palms facing up, holding the handles or ends of the resistance band.

    • Your elbows should be bent at a 90-degree angle and rest on the bench, ensuring your wrists extend beyond the edge.

  2. Starting Position:

    • Keep your chest lifted and back straight while maintaining a stable core.

    • Grip the resistance band firmly in both hands.

  3. Movement:

    • Slowly curl your wrists upward, bringing your palms towards your forearms while contracting your forearm muscles.

    • Hold the top position for a moment to increase tension in the forearms.

  4. Return:

    • Gradually lower your wrists back to the starting position.

    • Maintain control throughout the movement, avoiding any jerking motions.

  5. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10-15 repetitions for 2-3 sets, resting for about 30 seconds between sets.

  6. Tips:

    • Focus on slow and controlled movements, emphasizing the contraction of your forearms.

    • Avoid using excess weight; the goal is to build strength and endurance.

    • Ensure that your wrists remain in a neutral position to prevent strain.

  7. Cool Down:

    • After finishing your sets, gently stretch your wrists and forearms to improve flexibility and reduce tension.
