Wrist weakness

[Flourish]

Hello! My wrists are week and whenever there are plank rotations or plank arm raises, my wrists end up hurting (if it's a regular plank, there's no problem - the issue is lifting the hand from the floor and putting it down again). A few years back I did the plank month challenge, with a lot of plank rotations, and ended up with wrist pain for a year.

Besides the hand workouts, is there a way to strenghten my wrists slowly? Is there an exercise to replace plank arm raises or rotations (I feel like doing regular planks is cheating )? Or a way to make it easier on the wrists? I use handles to keep the wrist straight instead of bending it, but it still hurts from putting it down on the floor repeatedly

The hand and wrist workouts on DAREBEE are excellent and will help to strengthen your wrists if you do them consistently.

In the meantime, you can do plank rotations and plank arm raises from a forearm plank position.

To get stronger wrist I warm up with dynamic stretching https://gmb.io/wrists/ and I finish stretching them with darebee wrist pain WO, I also do other darebee hand/wrist WOs.

Thank you!! I knew of Darebee's hand and wrist WO, but to be honest I lack consistency I will try to do better and add that dynamic stretching. Thank you to both!
