00:00:00.070 --> 00:00:02.530
This movement is called wrist flex.

00:00:02.820 --> 00:00:05.859
We will be taking three
deep breaths on each side.

00:00:06.190 --> 00:00:07.040
Let's begin.

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.669
Stand or sit comfortably,
relax your shoulders and leave

00:00:12.670 --> 00:00:14.790
your arms straight for now.

00:00:15.785 --> 00:00:20.615
You're going to bring your right arm up,
if you can, all the way up until shoulder

00:00:20.615 --> 00:00:25.255
height so your elbow, wrist, and hand
are in the same height as your shoulder.

00:00:25.675 --> 00:00:29.904
And if not, lower from that point
in front of you is just fine.

00:00:30.515 --> 00:00:33.975
Your palm will be facing the
floor, and you'll be using your

00:00:33.975 --> 00:00:35.824
left hand as the gesture hand.

00:00:36.534 --> 00:00:40.110
You'll either be grabbing from
your palm, Or from your fingertips,

00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:43.500
and if you're grabbing from your
fingertips, grab all of the fingertips

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:45.470
together with the left hand.

00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:51.440
And on an inhale, pull the fingertips
or the palm back towards yourself

00:00:51.789 --> 00:00:55.880
so that the fingertips are now
facing the ceiling or the sky.

00:00:56.999 --> 00:01:01.070
Notice if you have overextended
your elbow or if you've brought

00:01:01.070 --> 00:01:02.440
tension to your shoulder.

00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:05.930
Exhale, relax.

00:01:08.009 --> 00:01:14.880
Inhale, pull back, elbows soft, shoulders
soft, and feel the stretch in the wrist.

00:01:16.580 --> 00:01:17.940
Exhale to relax.

00:01:19.990 --> 00:01:24.740
Last one on this side, pull back either
all of your fingertips or from the palm,

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.619
feel the stretch in the wrist and maybe a
little in the forearm, relax the shoulder,

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:35.489
relax the elbow, and exhale to relax.

00:01:37.515 --> 00:01:41.395
Go ahead and give that arm a little shake
and we'll switch to the second side.

00:01:43.395 --> 00:01:49.125
Bring your left arm up so that the
palm, wrist, elbow, and shoulder

00:01:49.165 --> 00:01:51.285
are all in line in front of you.

00:01:51.625 --> 00:01:55.575
And if that's too high and you feel
any discomfort, lower the hand to

00:01:55.575 --> 00:01:56.995
the point where it's comfortable.

00:01:57.795 --> 00:01:59.589
The palm is facing the floor.

00:01:59.950 --> 00:02:04.190
And you will use your right hand
now to pull back either all of

00:02:04.190 --> 00:02:08.079
the fingers together or from the
palm so that you feel the wrist

00:02:08.259 --> 00:02:11.060
stretch and possibly the forearm.

00:02:11.450 --> 00:02:16.200
So on an inhale, go ahead and pull
back from the palm or the fingertips

00:02:16.279 --> 00:02:23.590
on the inhale, leaving your elbow and
shoulder soft and exhale to relax.

00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:30.859
Inhale, notice the softness
in the elbow and the shoulder

00:02:30.870 --> 00:02:32.570
with the stretch in the wrist.

00:02:34.290 --> 00:02:35.759
Exhale to relax.

00:02:38.089 --> 00:02:40.789
Inhale, last one, pull back.

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.709
See if you can stretch a
little bit further, feeling the

00:02:44.709 --> 00:02:47.039
wrist and the forearm stretch.

00:02:49.210 --> 00:02:52.520
Exhale to relax both arms
back down to your side.

00:02:54.429 --> 00:02:56.779
That is the end of this exercise.
