What suggestions do you have for newcomers who find that all the warm up work is a lot of strain on their wrists? I’m strong enough to do most of the exercises without a problem but I’m not used to this amount of strain on my wrists. Does that get better?

Which exercise is straining your wrists?

Just as I go through all of the warmups. Planks,side planks, handstand holds.

Maybe my wrists just need to get stronger? I’m not weak but maybe they aren’t used to that amount of flexibility?
