Seated Forearm Stretch
How to do it
Starting position
- Kneel down on the floor.
- Place your palms on the floor.
- Turn your hands so your fingers point toward your knees.
Movement
- Keep your elbows straight and slowly shift your weight backward.
- Stop where the front of your wrists stretch.
- Hold the position and keep breathing.
Breathing
Exhale as you lean your body weight in, and breathe comfortably while holding.
Cautions
- If your wrists hurt, reduce the body weight on them.
- If you bend your elbows, your forearms will not stretch.
