Stand upright with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Hold the water bottle in your right hand as close to one end as possible with your arm close to your side. The weight should be in front of you and your grip should be tight. The end of the bottle furthest from your hand should be pointing downwards. This is your starting position. Curl the end of the bottle up as high as it can go. You bend only at the wrist. Breathe normally. Slowly lower the end of the bottle to the starting position. Breathe normally.

A complete forearm program must achieve balanced development for all major forearm muscles. The forearm is involved in six different forearm movements. They include wrist flexion, wrist extension, wrist abduction, wrist adduction, forearm pronation, and forearm supination. There are additional muscles found in the forearm that are involved in movements like elbow flexion (brachioradialis), finger flexion, and finger extension.
