At Your Desk Wrist Stretch

The next time you're at the office, make a point to do this stretch every few hours.

Stand next to a desk or some other stable surface that is lower than your hips.
With your fingers pointed towards you, place your palms on your desk.
Keep your back long, relax your shoulders away from your ears, and walk your feet back a little so you feel a nice stretch in the front of your wrists.
After five slow breaths, slowly peel your fingers and hands off the desk. Give your arms a little shake, and at the wrists, circle your hands in both directions.

Hi Fit, I love this place and will always be a regular visitor here. Having said that here’s my $0.02 of constructive criticism: the images in the blog are often low res and grainy and take away from the professional feel of the content and the rest of the blog layout. I’m hoping I can convince you to fix this. Thanks for listening. Tracy.
