Some core exercises - your core (should) hold you up, so you're not resting the full weight of your torso on your hands. Vary your hand position on the bars - I usually switch between the hoods and bar tops every few minutes or as needed
Bike size if anything is on the smaller side, but I do not mind the compact feel. Saddle is positioned back where my knee is just slightly behind the pedal axle. It is possible that raising the bars until I used to the more aggressive position may help.
