Fitness File with Monica Jones
It's All In The WristsAs a professional fitness trainer I have worked with all ages and fitness levels, male and female, throughout the past 14 years. Over the past several years I have noticed a commonality in even young and fit individuals, including athletes. It’s not speed, agility, cellulite or body fat. These issues continue to fluctuate on a wide basis, plaguing the older and sedentary, favoring the young and fit. The link I am referring to is weak wrists. Placing clients in various positions, including but not limited to pushups and Triceps dips, I often receive feedback on the discomfort this pressure causes in the wrists.
