Have you ever been cruising through your workout and then BAM pain begins shooting through your wrist? Not only is this painful it is also frustrating below lets discuss a few tips and tricks to help you avoid the discomfort.

1. Identify the Cause of Your Wrist Pain: is the pain from poor form, lack of flexibility, or an underlying health condition? If you are unsure we can help, stop into our Overland Park location today to learn more.

2. Warm-up and Stretch: we commonly will warm up our legs and arms before a workout but a lot of time we forget the smaller joints. So before diving into your workout stretch your wrists, if you need more information on wrist stretches please allow one or our personal trainers to assist you.

3. Maintain Proper Form: depending on the exercise you are performing the tips and cues to eliminate wrist pain will be different; but for majority of exercises that cause wrist pain ensure your wrists are aligned under your shoulders and you are distributing the weight evenly across your palms and all your fingers. Also, engaging your core and maintaining a straight line from your head to your heels (think proper plank form) can also help alleviate unnecessary pressure on your wrists.

4. Modify the Exercise You Are Performing: If you continue to experience wrist pain despite ensuring you do not have an underlying health condition, you have properly warmed up, and you are practicing proper form you might need to modify the exercise you are performing. Our bodies need time to adjust to exercises and putting strain on our joints, modifications are great options to allow you to continue to workout while increasing strength in your joints and muscles so eventually you can perform every exercise you desire.

5. Consult a Professional if Pain Persist: if you are still experiencing pain please contact Live Fit today, our certified personal trainers and on staff therapist would love to assist if you need any additional help! We would never want pain to prevent you from enjoying the benefits of exercising!
