Sore wrists during push ups or planks? #shorts – Heather Robertson

by YouTube Team

Do you have sore wrists during push ups or planks? Here are a few tips on how to reduce wrist pain during you workouts!

Tension can be caused by the increased angle of extension at the wrist when in push up or plank position

1. Modify planks by lowering to your elbows
2. Modify full planks or push ups by elevating and reducing the angle of extension on the wrist. Try a folded towel under the heel of the palms or, my personal favourite, grasp onto sturdy hex dumbbells
3. Listen to your body and remember to continue strengthening and stretching the wrists. This will help improve mobility overtime helping to reduce pain and stiffness during your workout!

Heather, I feel very uncomfortable doing push-ups holding the dumbbells, so I always do them with my hand flat on the floor.

By the way, what is more challenging – doing push up with hands flat on the floor or with dumbbells? Is there any difference?

Thank you for sharing these tips…I have struggled with wrist pain for sometime now and my OT recently recommended wrist assured gloves (WAGS). They have been a complete game changer for me personally. Just be sure to get them directly from the maker/inventor as there are many knockoffs that don’t offer the best support. 😉
