Weak wrists surprise you. You pick up a weighted bag or attempt a plank, and before you know it, everything is wobbling. Whether lifting weights in the gym, typing at work, or playing a sport, strong wrists mean a steady hand and reduced risk of injury.

Begin with a quick warm-up routine. Roll the wrists in circular motions for ten repetitions in either direction; then press the palms against each other and push down for a gentle stretch extension.
