I’ve got another health tip for you. This one goes to those who work with their hands and wrist, for example mechanics, hair stylists, rock climbers, desk jobs, and computer workers. The big thing is that you use your hands a lot and there a lot of muscles in your forearms and hands that get overworked. What you need to do is every once in a while, 30 minutes to 1 hour, take a break. And a good thing that you can do is something like shown in the video. So try and get that motion in the wrists and the fingers, but the wrist especially because there are a lot of muscles in the forearm that come from the elbow and cross the wrist and that is what you are needing to stretch out. That’s what I’ve got for you today. Thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time.
