Grip strength isn’t just for aerialists! Our program builds wrist & elbow health for H2H, handstands & tumbling 💪🖐️

💥 Comment GRIP to get our FREE Circus Grip Strength Program!
🧠 Co-created with Art Physio, a circus & acrobatics specialist with 20+ years experience.

Here are 3 exercises from our 8-exercise program:

Exercise 1 – Wrist Extensions
🎯 Target Area: Wrist
Hold your arm out parallel to the ground.

- Grip a dumbbell or filled water bottle (1–2L) with your palm facing down.
- Curl your knuckles/fist back towards you.
- Lower to neutral and repeat.

Exercise 2 – Wrist Wave (Prone)
🎯 Target Area: Wrist
- Use a dumbbell similar in grip width to your apparatus.
- Lie on your belly (prone) with arms by your sides, holding the dumbbell vertically with the thumb-side end touching the floor.
- Keep your forearm on the ground and side-flex your wrist to lift the dumbbell off the floor.
- Return to the starting position.
- Keep the dumbbell vertical throughout. Repeat on both hands.

Exercise 3 – Wrist Wave (Supine)
🎯 Target Area: Wrist
- Perform the same movement as the previous exercise, but lying on your back.
- Avoid bending your elbow.
- Follow the same motion path to strengthen the opposite side of the joint.

These are just 3 of the 8 targeted movements in the full program—designed to bulletproof your grip and reduce injury risk for circus artists of all disciplines.

🧠 Want all 8? Just drop a GRIP in the comments and we’ll send it straight to you!

BUT… in my defense, I have a show coming up 😬🤷🏽‍♀️
#theshowmustgoon

Side note: I don’t condone training through injuries, but as a professional aerialist since way back, I’ve definitely done it.
A lot. (Sorry Erin @art.physio 🤣)
That said, one show or comp is never worth risking your body’s long-term health.
We only get one of these magical meat suits, so take care of it—future you will thank you! 💜
