Most people looking for wrist strengthening ideas will end up buying a pair of these https://amzn.to/2TlSJey and call it a day. After all, they protect and help stabilize the wrists, right?

Well, although I used to use wrist straps myself (actual they were workout gloves with built-in wrist straps), I eventually realized that they don't actually increase wrist strength. Instead, they provide support for your wrists so you don't have to do all the supporting yourself. In a way, it's "cheating." Kind of like weight lifters who wear weight belts to stabilize their lower back.

For that reason, I've created my own routine to to build REAL wrist strength, flexibility and mobility, without relying on gloves and straps, and it's quick and easy enough that I throw it in as a warm up before any challenging upper body workout. The routine is broken down like this:

Mobility / Warm-Up:
Wrist Circles (20-30 sec)
Wrist Chops (20-30 sec)

Flexibility:
Prayer Stretch (20-30 sec)
Inverted Prayer (20-30 sec)
Seated Extension/Flexion (1 min)
Kneeling Deep Extension/Flexion (1 min)

Strength:
Current Leaning/Fist Push-up Progression (1 or 2 sets)

Throw this in as a warm-up and focus on reaching fist push-ups. You'll have a strong hand grip and durable wrists in no time so hand balancing can come easier and without injury.

I hope this helps! Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.
