Banded Wrist Pronation
Written By David Song
BANDED WRIST PRONATION
This is a strengthening exercise for the pronators of the wrist. Place a band in your palm starting from the pinky side towards the thumb and loop it once around the hand. Grip the band with your thumb and be sure that the loop ends by wrapping around the back of your hand. Hold the other end of the band with the non-target hand. Begin with your palm facing upwards and rotate the band until the palm faces downwards. Reverse the rotation to complete a repetition.
