]]>Wrist Circles
Wrist circles are an easy and effective way to reduce stiffness and improve the range of motion in your wrists. Start by extending your arms out in front of you. Hold your hands in a fist position, then slowly rotate your wrists in a circulation motion, increasing the size of the circles as you become more comfortable. Perform 10-15 circles in one direction, then reverse.
Wrist Flexor Stretches
Jobs that require repetitive motions such as typing, cooking, and cutting hair can seriously stress wrist tendons over time, but regularly stretching these muscles can provide some relief. To perform wrist flexor stretches, extend one arm in front of you with your palm facing up. Use your other hand to gently pull back your fingers from the base until you feel a stretch in your forearm. Hold for 15 seconds before repeating on the other side.
Fist Squeezes
Stretching is essential for reducing tension in the wrists, but strengthening exercises can also make a big difference by improving the stability of wrist muscles and tendons. Fist squeezes are an excellent way to strengthen the wrists and help relieve pain. Begin by holding your hand with your fingers extended upward. Using slow, controlled motion, curl your fingers toward your palm into a fist, squeezing tightly. Hold for 5 seconds, then release your grip. Repeat 10-15 times before switching to the other hand.

]]>Warm Up Your Wrists
Just as you would warm up the rest of your body before a workout, your wrists need love too! You can start with some simple stretches and movements to prepare them for the rest of your workout.
Wrist Strength Training
Most people don’t naturally have the strength in their wrists to hold their full bodyweight for long (or at all), so it’s a good idea to work on your wrist strength before beginning your handstands. There are various exercises you can do to build this strength including barbell wrist curls and yoga poses like downward dog and pike.
Parallel Bars for Handstands
If you’re able to buy paralettes, these mini parallel bars are great for changing the angle of your wrist during handstands. It eases some of the stress put on the wrist because your hands aren’t kept at a right angle against the ground. Instead, you can naturally grip the bars and say goodbye to wrist pain!

Wrist Exercise With a Tennis Ball
Use a tennis ball and place it between your thumb and forefinger. Glue your elbows onto your side so you don’t rotate your forearm, just your wrist. Drop down your wrist and slowly begin rotating it. Repeat the process with every finger.
) but I was excited to show you all this little quick hand/wrist exercise 
I was playing around with wrist work yesterday and tried this out and really liked how my wrist/hand felt afterwards. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this, but maybe I have and just forgot where 
If you spend a lot of time typing, writing or generally using your hands this might be something to try out. You might feel some cramping in the hand but it shouldn’t be painful. GO SLOW (much slower then I do in the video) and make your wrist circles smaller if you need to. Give it a try and tell me what you think in the comments

When stretching your wrist, you need to hold your arm slightly lower than your shoulder, with the palm facing down. Then extend the hand back towards you by using your opposite hand, gently pulling it back. Do it at least five times. Then, turn the palm down and repeat the process, except this time you are pulling your hand towards from your body.
Stretch Your Fingers
There are many great ways to easily stretch your fingers. The most common one is to stretch the finger flexors one at a time, by pinning down the opposite three, while gently assisting the isolated finger and moving into extension.
