The Wrist Flexor Stretch

Most people have done some kind of stretch for their forearm muscles.

That stretch can work well, but I often find that tweaking the stretch a little so that you also stretch the tendons that those muscles attach to can be even better.

Here’s how you can get even more benefit out of the time you spend stretching your forearms.

How Many and How Often

This is a recovery exercise, so it’s best done after activity or later in the day when you need you overworked muscles to recover.

Hold the stretch for a full 30 seconds (no, don’t just count to 30. Set a timer. It’s much longer than you think).

Pause and shake out the hands.

Repeat for 3 rounds.
