Easy Wrist Warm Up and Mobility Flow | Week 50 | Movement Fix Monday
Over the course of this last weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking for a half day at O'Hare CrossFit (OCF) in Chicago about squatting, overhead lifting, and creating spinal stiffness.
The weekend was a two-day, internal event for the coaching staff at OCF to add to their skill set. One of the other guest instructors (there were 4 of us total) was Rupert Egan. Rupert is a gymnastics coach and also works with Power Monkey Fitness.
Rupert discussed gymnastics drills and coaching during his time-slot at OCF and showed a great wrist flow and warm up that he uses with athletes to work on their wrist mobility, strength, and positional tolerance.
As soon as I saw it, I had to get him on Movement Fix Monday so you all could benefit from it and incorporate it into either your own workouts or with the athletes/patients you work with.
I love simple, easy flows that provide a lot of benefit. The wrist warm up and mobility flow that Rupert shows us in this video perfectly fits into that category!
The flow he shows in the video is 6-8 reps of each movement in each position. Please go to your own tolerance and ability levels and build up strength over time.
Make sure to follow Rupert on Instagram @Rupert.Egan. He consistently posts great things on there!
Thanks for reading!

Great exercises, I've done a few of these myself and some with clients, but never on a regular basis. I'm curious what you guys have seen, do majority of people have issues "tolerating" the positions because of a limitation in their wrist or pain from hand bones being in direct contact with the floor? If it's the latter do you have most athletes do this exercise on softer mats?
Thanks!
