Instructions
Starting Position:
Begin in a kneeling position on a soft surface, like a mat or carpet.
Place your knees hip-width apart and your feet flat on the ground behind you.
Lean slightly forward, placing your hands on the ground in front of you, with your fingers pointing towards your body.
Fist Position:
Curl your fingers into a fist so that only your knuckles are touching the ground. Your elbows should be bent at about a 90-degree angle.
Switch to Palm Position:
Slowly transition from the fist position to a flat palm position. Straighten your fingers outwards, ensuring your wrists stay aligned with your shoulders.
Your elbows will still be bent, and your body should be stable.
Return to Fist Position:
Reverse the movement by curling your fingers back into a fist.
Maintain control and stability, keeping your core engaged.
Repetitions:
Alternate between the fist and palm positions for 10-15 repetitions or as long as comfortable.
Focus on maintaining proper form throughout the exercise.
Breathing:
Inhale as you lower into the palm position and exhale as you return to the fist position.
Cool Down:
After completing your repetitions, take a moment to stretch your wrists and arms gently to prevent stiffness.
Notes:
Keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid straining your wrists.
Ensure that your core is tight throughout the exercise to maintain stability.
