Arms Out Fingers & Forearm Stretch
Rep Range
Time Based
Hints
Begin in a standing position with feet hip-width apart. Interlock your fingers in front of you at approximately stomach level, keeping the elbows bent. As you take a deep breath in, raise your arms and rotate your wrists so that your palms face outward, away from you. Extend your arms fully, ensuring you stretch out your fingers, creating a gentle stretch along the forearms, wrists, and hands. After holding for a few moments, exhale and reverse the motion, lowering your arms and bringing your interlocked fingers back to the starting position in front of your stomach. From here repeat for your desired reps.
Common Mistakes
Avoid any jerky or rapid motions. The movement should be smooth and controlled to prevent any unnecessary strain or injury. Ensure that when extending the arms, they are kept straight and not locked, and the stretch isn't forced—listen to your body and stretch to a point of mild tension, not pain.
Breathing
Inhale deeply as you lift your interlocked fingers and rotate your wrists. Hold your breath for a moment as you fully extend the arms and stretch the fingers. Exhale as you gently return to the starting position. Repeat the process, coordinating your breath with the movement, ensuring a deep sense of relaxation and release with each repetition.
