We can blame our sore wrists on overuse in certain exercises or too many hours at the keyboard, but there's no reason you can't continue to do some of the weight-bearing exercises that you love. Your wrists might just need a little assistance to achieve a pain-free push-up or downward dog, and that's where Wrist Assured Gloves [1] ($70) could come in handy.

The gloves are padded in such a way that your weight is redistributed away from your wrists. They were extremely effective when I tested them with a set of push-ups, and I also noticed a difference when doing triceps dips. The gloves worked noticeably better than gripping free weights as a means to take pressure of my sometimes sensitive wrists. If you're someone who is deterred from doing these exercises or certain positions in yoga and Pilates, these gloves will enable you to incorporate the things that have been giving you a pain in your wrist.

At $70, a painless experience does not come cheap. However, Joint Protection Products [2] offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee if your experience doesn't live up to expectations.
