Carol's Experience (Age 38)
before 7 Exercises to Do Everyday for Hands Wrists and Elbows
Pilates class is my favorite time of the week - until it was time to do a plank. Each time, I tried, not only did my wrists experience significant pain, but so did my hands and elbows. I wasn’t going to give up Pilates, so I talked to the instructor after class. She gave me a list of 7 exercises to do everyday for hands, wrists and elbows. It never occurred to me that these parts of our body need to be taken care of and exercised, but they do, just like the rest. I made a commitment and did each of the 7 exercises every day.

A week or so in, I noticed that my hands, wrists and elbows were only a little sore in class when I was doing planks. 2 full weeks later and I am up there on my hands doing a plank with virtually no pain! Life is so much better pain free, thank you.

Everyday tasks became easier, from opening jars to typing. My hands gained a strength and dexterity I hadn't experienced in ages. I also play the piano, and noticed an improvement and even found a renewed passion for playing. As I nurtured my hands, I discovered a new appreciation for the intricate wonders they are capable of.
