Finger and Hand Exercises

Over the years, whenever the temperatures dipped, my fingers would stop working and my hands became worthless. Gloves and hand warmers helped, but it still was a problem. Beginning last year, I noticed that my finger strength declined even when it was warm. I dropped things more frequently and found it difficult to pick up and hold objects.


Frustrated, I decided to do something about it. On the internet, I found several sites that had finger and wrist exercises. In February, I incorporated a dozen of the exercises into my daily workout routine. By day three, my fingers, hands and wrists were sore, and I decided to back off a little. I now perform these exercises every other day. It has been a month and my fingers are stronger. It is easier to grip things and my hands function better.

Maggie, I use a wheelchair for mobility these days. It is much safer. I broke several bones when my legs gave out while walking and decided to error on the side of caution.

A portion of my daily exercise routine is standing up. I have a grab bar that I use to ensure that I'm safe. All the rest of my exercise program is done sitting down.

Maggie it is always good to hear from you. I wish you luck.
