SEATED WRIST EXTENSION
Muscles works: This exercise develops the back and top parts of your forearms and is critical in
helping to prevent injuries like tennis elbow.

•Grasp the handles with your palms facing down and rest your mid-forearms on your upper legs with
the elbows flared out to the sides.

•Raise your chest, tighten your trunk muscles and maintain a very slight arch in your lower back.
Action:
•Slowly curl the back of your fists towards the forearms.
•Slowly return to the starting position.
Key points:
•Move slowly and keep tension in the back of the forearms at all times.
•You can perform this exercise one arm at a time to make it easier to focus and isolate the back of your
forearms, or you can perform it with both arms simultaneously to save time.
