    Ankles shouldn't need much, you walk around on them most of the day so they shouldn't really be weak. Do roll them a good bit before exercise though.

    For wrists push-ups on a clenched fist are OK, and maybe wrist rocks (rolling forward and back on your wrists while in the push up position).

    Other than that, conditioning depends on your sport. If you're doing a striking sport then working a bag will help build up wrist strength. For grappling sports I personally haven't seen anything other than fist/wrist push-ups. I'm doing false grip training for gymnastics rings at the moment (google, etc), which is a lot tougher and (I hope) translates much better.

    The issue with ankles isn't strength, its mobility. A huge number of people have ankle mobility issues, its almost a given for anyone starting out who has trouble holding an ATG squat.
    Walking puts ankles through a pretty limited ROM. Somebody with a restricted ROM will probably be able to walk about ok.

    Gray Cook has some good stuff on ankle mobility, K Starr also.

    Similar situation for wrist.
    This is a good guide for wrist exercises to prep up for handstands. It's geared towards gymnastics, but its essentially the same as my wrestling coach's warm up.
