Finger stretch

Working hard at your desk? To avoid getting sore and worn out, try a stretch break. If you spend lots of time clutching a pen or typing on a keyboard, start with the finger stretch.

  • Separate and straighten your fingers until you feel a stretch, keeping your hand in alignment with your wrist (left). Hold for 10 seconds.
  • Next, bend the end and middle knuckles of your fingers (right), keeping your hand and wrist in the same position. Hold for 10 seconds.

Then, relax.
