Wrist pain w/Yoga Based Abs

[becky2500]

Hi Cathe...I am soooo thrilled with the new abs circuit CD. I have some low back issues, that make some of your past ab workouts painful for me. I love the Yoga based abs, but I am finding that I can't finish some of the planks due to some really sore wrists. Do you (or anyone) have suggestions to help alleviate the pain while performing the exercises?

TIA,

Becky

Use your fists... push-up bars... dumbbells... or stop and rest as needed. Some find wearing weightlifting gloves to help support the wrist alleviates pain... or you might try finding some of the yoga wrist lifts (all different types) by searching the net.

Perfect Push-ups

Maybe the product called "Perfect Push-up" would help:

I use these for abs and they help in two ways: First, they put your wrists in a straight up-and-down position. And secondly, they rotate so your wrists stay in a comfortable position (they move as you need them to).

Hope this helps.
