Helpful and Preventative Stretches for Writers, Artists, and Gamers✍
If you type, write, draw, game, or generally use your hands a lot (especially if you’re prone to RSI or Carpal Tunnel!) try these stretches as both a preventative measure, and on the spot relief. Take care of yourself and your body, friends!
Start with hands up, fingers stretched out. Stretch your thumb as far as you can over your palm. Hold and repeat 4 times.
Touch each finger to your thumb. Hold each for 30 seconds. Repeat on each hand 4 times.
Start with a fist. Open half way, hold for 2 seconds. Stretch fingers out, hold for 2 seconds. Repeat 4 times.
Start with one arm out, palm up. Pull your fingers back with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds. Do the same with your other hand. Repeat 4 times
Start with arms up, palms out. Bend wrists down until you feel the stretch, but keep your fingers loose. Hold 10 seconds. Bend wrist upwards, until you feel it in your wrist and arm. Hold 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times.

Yoga done today
I’m so proud that I haven’t missed a day of yoga since I started. I think lol. And that I’ve increased the amount of poses to enhance my workout! Some poses are just a light work out but a great stretch. I’m loving the harder ones. I like to push my self(sometimes lol)
Harder poses for me:
• Stomach stretch
• Rejuvenation
• Deep lunge
• Push-ups ( I can only do 15 so far…)
• leg kicks
