Best Wrist Exercises and Forearm Exercises for Men and Women: Increase Grip Strength with Wrist and Forearm WorkoutsHere are some of the best forearm exercises for men and women to include in your forearm workouts. These are also great wrist exercises to strengthen weak wrists and hands. The wrists and forearms are often neglected, but here are some ways to strengthen your forearm and wrist muscles. You can use dumbbells, barbells, cables or any other tool that can add resistance to certain wrist motions. The wrist moves in 6 main directions: forwards (flexion), backwards (extension), outwards (radial deviation or abduction), inwards (ulnar deviation or adduction), turning up/ palms up (supination), and turning down/ palms down (pronation). All of the muscles that move the wrist are located in the forearm area, so when you move your wrists you strengthen your wrists and forearms.
