Rotate your thumbs up during the W part. Make sure that your elbows are 90 degrees bent and in line with the shoulders. Do not lift the entire upper body. Only lift the elbows and hands.

First reach out towards the front to elevate the scapula then lift the hands up towards the ceiling. On the way back stop with your elbows in line with the shoulders. Lift your elbows and hands up towards the ceiling here as well. Keep your chest on the floor at all times.

Start by internally rotating your arms so the back rounds and the pinky fingers touch the floor. Then externally rotate the arm, squeeze your shoulder blades together in the back, look up towards the ceiling and engage the whole back lifting the upper body of the floor. Open your legs slightly for this exercise.

Isolate the movement into the arms only. The rest of the body stays tight and immobile. Quick, small and dynamic circles to wake the shoulders up and get them ready.

Keep your forehead on the floor and interlock your fingers behind your head.

Feet shoulder width apart. Keep your head in a neutral position.

Knees sligthly bent. Hips and shoulders parallel. Back of the hands facing towards the back. Keep your shoulders down and back straight.

Hips and shoulders are squared. Isolate the movement only into the arm and keep the elbow connected with your hip.

Hips and shoulders are squared. Isolate the movement only into the arm and keep the elbow connected with your hip.

Make sure there is 1 straight line connecting both shoulders and your working elbow. Keep your elbow on that line at all times and use it as an axis to rotate the forearm up. Keep your hips and shoulders squared.

Shoulders and hips are squared. Knees sligthly bent. Let your elbow guide the movement.

Core engages. Weight evenly on both feet

Keep your core engaged and hips and shoulders squared. Head is in a neutral position.

Hips and chest stays parllel to the floor. Look at floor at all times. Do not rotate head with elbow.

Stay stable and reach up towards the ceiling. Keep the weight equally between both feet.

Push up against the elastic whilst pushing out against the second one. Keep your back straight and shoulders depressed.

First pull your elbow back in a horizontal line. Then rotate it hand up whilst keeping the elbow perfectly immobile. Finally extend the hand upwards constantly pushing back against the elastic. Use a weaker elastic with less pressure. Go slow and take it 1 movement at the time.

With your finger spreak wide move between full flexion and full extention of the wrist.

With your hand in a neutral position move the thumb towards its inside of the forearm. Then passing through the neutral position again move the pinky finger towards the outside of the forearm.

With locked elbows place your hands flat against the wall. While leaning towards the wall apply gentle preassure and walk your hands down and back up the wall.

Use a yoga block or anything similar to elevate your fingers to gently stretch your wrists and hands.

Make a fist. Now switch between full extension and full flexion of the wrist.

Spread your hands open wide. Now close the second, third and forth finger into a fist. Rotate your hands from the wirst as far as possible in both directions.

On your knees place your hands shoulder wide apart on the floor infront of you. Gently lean towards the front to apply preassure on your hands. Here rotate your locked elbows so the pit of the elbows faces towards the front, the inside and back.

Stretch your wrists on the floor in all possible directions.

Make fists with your hands for warm up. Open your hands fully stretching the wide between each rep.

From an open hands close one finger after the other until your hands are closed to a fist. Then open them back up in the same fashion. The bigger the finger mocement the better.

Place the palms of your hands against each other in front of your chest. Spread your fingers wide and push them down in front of your chest increasing pressure in each rep.

Rotate your wide spread hands infront of your chest towards the front and back.

Grab the elastic with 4 fingers. Engage the muscles on the top of your forearm to pull the hand from flexion into extension against the resistance of the elastic band.

Don't just work the wrist but the entire hand all the way until the fingers. Let your hand open and the fingers stretch back. Then make a fist and curl it in.

Start with your hand open facing towards the front. Make all of your fingers touch each other pointing downwards like Salt Bae when he seasons his meals.

Start with your hand open facing towards the ceiling in extension. Now bring the tip of all 5 fingers together and and flex your wrist.

Gently push up and be extra gentle on the way back down. Imagine your wrists are made out of glass. Do not bang them into the floor!
