Wrist Circles
Wrist mobility, joint lubrication, repetitive strain prevention
Why it works
Wrist circles move the joint through its full range of motion, producing synovial fluid and maintaining flexibility. Regular wrist circles prevent the stiffness caused by typing and phone use.
How to do it
- Extend your arms in front of you or interlace your fingers
- Slowly trace full circles with your wrists
- Reverse direction in smooth loops without forcing the end-range
- Most people shortcut the bottom half — full circles matter
