  • Push-ups are a great exercise, and almost everyone can find a starting point to train them. But if you're running into problems because of discomfort in your wrists, here are some things you can try.

The article from MSN discusses solutions for wrist pain experienced during push-ups. It explains that wrist pain often stems from improper form or lack of wrist strength and flexibility. To alleviate this, the article suggests several modifications and exercises: using push-up bars or dumbbells to keep wrists in a neutral position, performing push-ups on an incline to reduce wrist strain, and incorporating wrist mobility exercises like wrist extensions and flexions. Additionally, it recommends strengthening the forearms through exercises like wrist curls and reverse wrist curls. The article also advises on gradually building up to standard push-ups by starting with easier variations like wall push-ups or knee push-ups, and emphasizes the importance of warming up the wrists before any workout to prevent injury.
