I noticed the other night at dd's practice that she was grabbing /shaking out her wrists after holding herself up in a bridge. Is this normal or is she doing something wrong? Just curious. I don't think she's strong enough yet as she has a hard time holding them for extended periods but always manages to get her kick over even if she's struggling to hold it up.

I'm concerned that she's putting too much pressure on her wrists. :(
 
it's normal. you shake the wrists (without thinking why) cause you're trying to get blood back in the hand. if you stay in the position too long it's like when your limbs "fall asleep". if she complains of "wrist pain" there are solutions for that.

edited: i swear that i did not type "limbs" twice. keeps coming out that way even though i tried to delete it. just didn't want anyone to think i have stuttering fingers...
