This has been a busy month for me. I've been subbing for colleagues around the city in a variety of exercise disciplines. There is something I have noticed from my interaction with all the participants, regardless of age, gender, or weight, they all have weak wrists.
Often in my classes I incorporate weight-bearing exercises to target the entire body to work together. In all exercises, whether its plank, side plank, or even cat/cow postures, the participants are struggling with their wrists.
Weak wrists are a sign of long hours in spent in the office and not enough weight bearing activity.
Spending as little as one minute a day in downward dog will improve wrist strength. Give it try over a week and see if it makes a difference in your wrists, as well as improve your overall well being.
