Form tips
Perform the extension slowly and with control. Quick, jerky movements can lead to injury. Instead, gradually lift your hand up as far as you can, hold for a moment, and then lower it back down slowly.
A common mistake is to overextend the wrist, which can lead to strain or injury. Always listen to your body and only extend your wrist to a point that is comfortable for you.
If you are using a dumbbell or a resistance band for this exercise, start with a light weight or low resistance. This will help you to focus on your form and avoid injury.
