Visual:

How does your hand look turning a door key?

Imagine seeing your hand, the key, and the door. See your wrist turning and the forearm pronating.

Kinesthetic:

Imagine touching the cold metal of the key with your fingers. Now feel your muscles in your forearm and hand activate as you grasp and turn the key. What can you feel? Is there a tension in your muscles?
