Ride Strong
A motorcycle rider's guide to wrist health and strength
£20

- A 30-day wrist plan: 10 to 12 minutes a session
- A 5-minute routine for before you ride
- The grip and posture habits that tire your wrists, and how to fix them

What's inside
24 pages. First what's happening in your wrists on the bike, then a plan to do something about it.
How your wrist works
Bones, ligaments, tendons and nerves in plain language, with simple diagrams. Know what's going on under the glove.
Why riding wears wrists out
Vibration, sustained holds and constant small adjustments on the controls. See how small forces add up over a long day.
The habit traps
Death-grip, locked wrists and long holds: three habits that raise pressure and cut blood flow, and the small changes that undo them.
The 30-day plan
Eight guided sessions across four weeks, 10 to 12 minutes each, with an easier and a harder option for every one.
The 5-minute "always" routine
A quick reset for busy days. Run it before you gear up.
Warm-up, pacing and pain rules
A 3 to 4 minute warm-up and a simple green, yellow, red guide for when to push on, ease off or stop.
Four weeks. Ten minutes at a time.
Each session has a warm-up, a main block and a cool-down. You only add reps, time or resistance once the last two sessions and the day after felt good.
Week 1: mobility and circulation
Small arcs, easy holds and reset habits to ease stiffness.
Week 2: light strength and endurance
Gentle band work at a slow tempo, wrist kept neutral.
Week 3: progressive strength and control
More band work, plus wall and counter drills with part of your body weight.
Week 4: capacity and coordination
Combination sets and longer holds, then how to keep it going.
No time? There's a 5-minute version.
The "always" routine keeps your wrists ready on busy days. Run it before you gear up.
-
