Even though the wrist is a part of the body, we sometimes neglect it when training or carrying five bags of groceries. It does play an important role in upper-body function. If you've ever had wrist pain while doing a push-up or a plank or found it difficult to hold the bags, then there's a chance you have some wrist mobility constraints that you didn't realize.
Even if you don't have wrist pain, working on wrist mobility is beneficial because your wrist is involved every time you raise an object, whether it's a dumbbell or a coffee cup.
You don’t have to worry if your grip is a stumbling block at the gym or in everyday life? we've got you covered. We'll go through a few helpful stretches and exercises that will help you get rid of pain and develop robust, functional hands and a solid grip. Let's get started.
Begin with the fundamentals
Because of the emphasis, you exert on your fingertips, this delicate-looking grip tip is the best starter. Pinch a magazine in your palm and hold it by your side. Concentrate on securely gripping the mag with your fingertips for as long as possible with even force. Begin with one magazine and work your way up to more as your skills improve. Don't forget to use both hands when you're doing this.
Enlist the assistance of your water bottle
Fill a soft-sided water bottle half and close it tightly. Squeeze the bottle as hard as you can for as long as possible. Keep your shoulders in a relaxed position. Repeat with alternate hands, complete a couple of sets per day if possible.
Desk exercise
Take a rubber band from your desk and perform the following simple rubber band techniques. If you're a working woman or man, this exercise will help you strengthen your limbs while you're still working on files at your desk. Use rubber band extensions to
improve the condition of your hands. Put on two or more bands when one becomes too easy! This is a simple exercise to do while on the phone or a conference call to get the blood flowing through your hands and to help balance out your wrist mobility and strength
Another desk exercise, Desk Press
Place your palms up against a desk or table while seated. Press upwards. Hold the position for a few seconds and incorporate the workout into your everyday regimen. The muscles that go from your wrists to your inner elbows gain strength with this workout.
Stretching can do wonders
Extend your right palm straight out in front of you as if you're stopping traffic, Pull back on the fingers and palm of your right hand with your left hand until you feel a stretch. Hold for a few seconds before repeating the process five times. Repeat the same with the opposite hand. In this stretch, make sure you're not experiencing any pain or numbness.
