Stretchy Sunday's: Wrist Circles!

Aloha Sunday:)

Today's stretch of the week is Wrist Circles!

I know your thinking, Wrist Circles, really?!?!?!  Your wrists are so important and used almost every minute of the day (not including during sleep;) )!  As a Pole Addict I know from experience that your wrist are also VERY IMPORTANT for pole dancing.  Think about all the moves you do on the pole....   Fireman Spin, Two Handed Pirouette, Shoulder Mount, Carousel, HAND SPRING!!!!  OMG Polers, wrist GALORE!!  Let's get into this the Wrist Circle Stretch!

Hold your right arm out with your wrist align with your forearm.  Put your hand and fingers to the right, take them down, to the left and up in a clockwise motion.  Do this at a nice and smooth pace as you would for your neck and really feel that stretch.  You can do this as much times as you want but you want to do it at least 5 times in each direction (clockwise and then counter clockwise).  After you have done your Wrist Circles in both directions on your right wrist, please repeat for your left side as well.

The best thing about the Wrist Circle Stretch is that you can do it anywhere and everywhere that your hands are free!!!  At work while on the phone, in the car while sitting at a light, in line at the grocery store, everywhere!!  Doing Wrist Circles daily will help maintain and increase the range of motion of your wrist (BIG in pole!) as well as the strength and flexibility (also very BIG in pole!)!  You should notice after a while of doing Wrist Circles that your wrist will not hurt as much as they did when you did a certain move.  You will notice a difference in time:).  These Wrist Circles are also awesome for people with arthritis.  Gentle wrist circles throughout the day will help ease the pain a bit.

There are many Wrist Stretches and Exercises that we will make sure to bring to you through our blog in the future.  For now, get to it!  You could have been doing Wrist Circles the whole time you were reading this (LOL JK!)!

Have a great Sunday and see you again next week for another great Stretchy Sunday!!!
