Wristies

Wristies have a well worth of it, and it naturally involves building a simple contraption. To perform this workout, you need to first cut a wooden dowel or PVC pipe to about 1 foot. Then, attach a thin rope that is about 4 feet in height. This will stop the dowel from spinning when you will rotate. Now, attach a carabiner to the end of the rope and hang the weight of about 2.5-5 lb. In the end, hold the dowel with both hands out while keeping your arms straight. Use your wrist to slowly roll the rope and the plate. Doing this will isolate your wrists and will strengthen them.

To perform it accurately, take a seat and anchor your forearm with your other hand. After that, slowly rotate your wrist in one direction and try to recruit as much range of motion as you can. After completing ten rotations, take a deep breath, relax, and change the side.

Place you all four fingers of one hand on the ground and make a punch/fist with your other hand. Keep that fist on the ground too. Now, rock back a bit and start moving your wrist laterally too and fro. During the workout, your main goal should be to gain as much range of motion as you can. A set of 10-20 wrist laterals can be a solid choice.
