Our wrists aren’t exactly the first body part that comes to mind when we think about getting fitter. Wrist pain can be common for those who train often, particularly with weight lifting. That said, almost everyone can benefit from stronger wrists! These five exercises can improve wrist strength in just 10 minutes, and all you’ll need are a very,verylight pair ofdumbbells, or you could even use a slim water bottle.

According to sports nutrition brandMyProtein, “The strength of your wrists plays a major role in stabilising your arms during movements such as the bench press, deadlift and overhead presses.” Gym accessories, like wrist wraps and somegym gloveswith wrist support, can be worn for extra stability and to keep your wrists in a neutral position, but you should also strengthen your wrists naturally, so give these exercises a go.

When we mentioned earlier that you’d only need to use a very light pair of dumbbells, we mean it – very light, please! We’re trying to strengthen your wrists, not break them. These exercises are all performed seated but if you prefer, you can always do them standing. You’ll do each move for 10 to 20 reps, and you want to try and aim for at least two rounds if not three. Here’s what you’ll be doing:

Remember, if you don’t own any dumbbells, you could always use a pair of resistance bands (so take a look at our guide to thebest resistance bands) or a slim water bottle that you can easily grip. If you experience pain in your wrists, particularly while doing bodyweight exercises like push-ups, we’ve got aneasy way to fix your wrist push-up pain.
