Winding your entire body...through...your wrists.
In very specific ways that you cannot learn on line you will be extremely...almost impossible...to lock up!
Then you can stand there looking at a shihan and unwind his own wrists on you.
Hey...ONE...of you is supposed to be moving from the center. Might as well make it you!

Actually, once I learned (from you) that solo exercises were intended to work on making the fascia connected, I looked at all those old aikido wrist exercises and immediately saw that their primary objective was exactly the same thing - unfortunately, over the years that part of the exercise objective got lost for the most part and the exercises just turned into a simple wrist twist with no internal intent involvement at all; just a hollow container of its former self - sort of like what happened with a lot of modern aikido techniques
