About Wrist Circle

Wrist Circle practices a smooth hand circle with the arms extended and elbows soft. The movement comes from the wrists while the rest of the arm provides a steady position.

What to focus on

Keep the fingers relaxed rather than making a tight fist.
Move evenly around the full circle.

Make the movement smaller

Lower the arms closer to your body and use a small circle.

A mistake to watch for

Moving the whole elbow to draw a bigger circle. Reduce the size and focus on the wrist.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Wrist Circle. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.
