Bulletproof your wrists with these mobility drills! In this tutorial you'll use functional range conditioning elements to warm-up, protect, and prepare your wrists for weight-bearing activities and moves like handstand.
In this short routine I'll teach you methods and techniques to help you access and increase your usable motion across the wrist joint. Total time should be less than 3 minutes!
In Functional Wrists Part 2, you'll be in a quadruped or table position the whole time.
Drill 1 - Star with palms flat, fingers forward and make circles with your shoulders keeping your elbows locked out and core engaged. Go in both directions.
Drill 2 - Turn your wrists out to the side, pointing your fingers towards the edges of your mat and shift side to side into deeper wrist extension.
Drill 3 - Continue on so that your fingers are pointed towards your knees and shift back and forward.
Drill 4 - Turn your palms so they face up and your fingers point towards one another, shift side to side in wrist flexion.
Drill 5 - With your palms still facing up, turn your fingers towards your knees by internally rotating at your arms shoulders. Shift forward and back.
Drill 6 - Continue to internally rotate your arms until your fingers point out towards the edges of your mat and shift side to side.
Drill 7 - Come back to the base position from Drill 4. Lower your chest to the floor by retracting your scapula and bowing your elbows out to the side. Press back up and straighten your elbows, protracting your shoulder blades. That's one rep. Do five reps.
Drill 8 - Again, begin in the base position from Drill 4. Keep your arms straight and press up to two closed fists and then back to flat hands palms facing up. That's one rep. Do five reps.
Drill 9 - Take one forearm, palm facing up, to the ground horizontally aligned with the top of your mat. Use the opposite knee to lightly massage your forearm, gently increasing pressure, up and down your forearm. Spread your fingers wide and pause, then relax into a closed fist. Repeat 3-5 times. Repeat on the other side.
The total routine should take under three minutes. Do this sequence after completing the drills from Part 1 and before the drills in Part 3. Do the entire series before any hand balancing or load bearing on your hands. Your future wrists will thank you!
