Who wants to do wrist exercises when we could be working our abs, butt, and thighs, right? Unless they hurt our wrists are not the first body part we think to workout. And when I was younger, you’d have a hard time convincing me I should waste any workout time on my wrists. Ah, youth!
But it’s like any part of the body. Everything is integrated and we need strong and flexible wrists or our wrists will impede other exercises (like plank, pushups, and even potentially weight lifting). Type a lot? Don’t want carpel tunnel? You want to consider your wrists.
If you have wrist pain, these series of exercises are really helpful. The first video takes you through a series of moves that both strengthens and stretches the muscles. The second video is a series of deep stretches. If you choose to do either of the videos, listen to your body. Start small. Ease in. These are small muscles, and you can progress over time. Both videos are beneficial, but if you only have time for one, do the first.
If you don’t have wrist pain, I know it will be harder to convince you to make time for your wrists, but it’s worth it. If you are a golf lover, flexibility at the wrist is key to getting the most out of that swing. If there are exercises you struggle with your wrists may be getting in your way.
The nice thing about these moves, is that you don’t need to change into special workout gear and you can fit them in at random times throughout the day.
