3. Gently rotate your hands so that your fingers point towards your knees and your palms remain flat on the ground.
4. Slowly lean backward, shifting your body weight until you feel a comfortable stretch in the inside part of your forearms and wrists.
5. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and maintaining even pressure on both hands.
6. Release the stretch by carefully shifting your weight forward and rotating your hands back to the starting position.
7. Repeat for 2-3 sets, ensuring you don’t push into pain and keep the stretch gentle and controlled.
