I got an accidental, major work out on Wednesday from carrying pumpkins around by the stems (my arms were full of my daughter). They were the medium sized pumpkins, not even the large ones! The next morning I could not figure out why my fore arms hurt so much, lol. This actually worked on my grip strength because that's alll the was keeping the pumpkins from dropping to the floor. You could work on this with kettlebell weights or 2 L soda pop bottles. I started about 2 months ago and have been totally disapointed with my lack of strength, so if that's where you're at you're not alone :) Another workout I do is knee next to a short cushioned stool and lay my forearm on it so it is flat on there with my wrist facing the ceiling. I hold a weight in that hand and do some slow wrist curls. This also works out the forearm area. You can use pretty much anything for stability, I just happen to have that stool, the point is keep your arm from moving around so you can increase strength in the muscles that support the wrist. Welcome and Congratulations on starting your pole journey! 🥂
Welcome!!! I has helped me out a lot are doing planks....regular one and side ones, of course push up are good too. The more you pole the better you will get. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Good Luck and have Fun :)

There's lots and lots of help for beginners in the Lessons here. I have a whole section just for condition (wrists included!!) There is also a bunch of Pole Strength lessons that focus on strength building pole work. 🥂 Here is the link to the first of 7 hand/wrist conditioning lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b362ac-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be
I'm new as well and dont know where to start please help 😕

Hi Afrocentric Welcome to the site! If you have a pole at home the lessons here are a great place to start. They are organized in a way that builds strength, lessons are all placed in order so you don't have to worry about what to work on next or if a move is suitable for beginners. If you don't have a home pole there are still plenty of conditioning, stretching, and floorwork lessons that do not require a pole! 🥂

But also squezzin a tennins ball.get a broom stick tie a weight to it in the center with rope put your hands either side of the rope then roll it up. It that makes sense. Ie I have even used a frying pan lol. Hold it out straight point it to the ground then straight then bk to the ground.also punching a cussion.hope they help. I use to get a very bad pain in bottom wrist when I did bracket grip. I now this week stopped having it yay :))
