RE: @polebird: ❤️ Handstands and variations on the pole! ❤️
What do you do to build wrist strength? Being able to hold yourself up with one hand while grabbing the pole looks like it would put a lot of pressure on your wrist.
I have terrible wrists, mainly because I write (type) for a living, and am trying to strengthen them, wondered if any exercise or technique has helped.
hmm just doing exercises such as down dog (yoga) or plank or doing some handstands against the wall, being consistent, and just pushing yourself within limits helps strengthen the wrists. I didn't do a particular exercise only involving the wrist, and I actually had really weak wrists before I started getting into yoga and pole. I remember some classes I could only hold plank/down dog for about 30 seconds before my wrists would ache so bad!
Okay, that's helpful thanks. Yeah, I have a hard time doing down dog for more than 8-10 seconds. Keep up the great work.
