Push Ups...

[OakLeaf]

Another alternative for weak wrists is simply to take the weight out of your wrists and place it in your hands and fingers where it belongs. Make sure that all of the metacarpal heads are on the floor - particularly the second (index finger) and fourth (ring finger) heads, which tend to raise up as people partially disengage the shoulders and forearms. Engage your fingers and thumbs so it feels like you're pulling the floor towards yourself. Isometrically internally rotate your wrists while simultaneously externally rotating your shoulders. There should be very little weight in your wrists. This is the safe way to do any maneuver with your hands on the ground, from planks and pushups to downward dog and handstand.


V - are you doing those flyes while you stay in plank position, feet on the ball? (Or rolling back to put your midsection on the ball? Either way - tough gal! )

Feet on the floor, upper back on the ball.
