8 Simple Stretches To Strengthen Your Wrists

Jan 30, 2023

When starting to work out a lot of people start to notice wrist pain. This can come from dumping too much weight on them during an exercise, typing at a computer all day, or inflammation in your joints. 

Whatever it is for you, it’s pretty common, but is still something that should be addressed.

In order to strengthen your wrists, you need to work on your forearm and overall joint mobility.

Here’s 8 of my favorite stretches and forearm strengtheners that you can do in under 5 minutes.

1) Wrist Flexion Release

2) Wrist Extension Release

3) Clasp & Twist

4) Forward Hand Grabs

5) Hand Grabs Overhead

6) Palm Lifts

7) Forearm Rotations

8) Malasana Squat

You can do these stretches with me here: 

Quick tip - when performing an exercise that requires impact to your wrists (like downward dog or a push-up) be very mindful of pushing into your finger pads, tucking your core, and pressing away from the floor so that all your weight is not being poured onto your wrists. This will help to protect them from injury and alleviate pain.

Do these exercises a few days a week and you will notice reduced pain and improved mobility in your workouts. Don’t forget to check in with me on Instagram (@actionjacquelyn) after every workout you do with me. I love connecting with you!
