What I'm Loving Now

A lot of my clients and students complain of wrist pain.  This is quite a common problem as your body matures since the pain may be due to weakness, overuse, an injury, arthritis or tendonitis. In addition, erosion of cartilage can impact the situation.  It is especially a problem with Pilates Reformer work, Yoga poses and TRX training.  



I must share my discovery of WAGs which are innovative fitness gloves that protect your wrists from strain and pain when exercising.  Your wrists will feel the benefits of the patented gel pad design, when you’re supporting weight on your hand, in these comfortable workout gloves. Invented by an occupational therapist, WAGs are a patented, practical solution to solve this common dilemma.  The ergonomic design eliminates wrist pain by inserting an anatomically contoured gel wedge into the palm of the glove.  The unique shape of the gel pad supports your hand & wrist while the V cut-out eliminates compression on the median nerve where it transverses the wrist.   

I have had these a few months now and love them for advanced poses on the Reformer.  I also use them for weight training.  You will notice the difference for any type of exercise where the weight of your body is landing right on the palm of your hand.  Use this link to check out the three versions of WAGs: Ultra, Pro and Flex (http://www.wristassuredgloves.com/shop/). I purchased the Ultra version which has built-in wrist support and gives you the added stability. Explore the website and read through the testimonials.  You will find some accomplished professionals on the list including Jonathan Urla, creator of Yogilates. 

If you do suffer from wrist pain, give WAGs a try.  When ordering, use the Promo Code PStyle0113 and receive 10% off your purchase.   You will be amazed at how these gloves assist you in performing those activities that you love to do:)
