How to exercise your hand muscles

The palm is the most flexible part of our body. Without hands, we would not be able to complete delicate movements, and even our daily life would not be able to go smoothly. Strong hands are not only a tool to help us live better and complete our work, but are also necessary for sports and fitness activities. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a method to strengthen the hand muscles. So how can we exercise the hand muscles to maximize their effectiveness?

1. Changes in exercise frequency: You can combine fast and slow exercises, do it a few times quickly and then a few times slowly; you can also count at a fixed time to calculate the number of exercises per unit time; you can also simply count, and the practitioner does push-ups continuously until exhaustion. Changes in frequency can better stimulate muscle growth, and by using them crosswise, you will not feel tired easily during exercise. When practicing push-ups, you should proceed step by step, from easy to difficult. Before doing them, you should fully massage, swing, and stretch your upper limbs to prevent muscle stiffness. During practice, you should find the push-up form that suits you and control the exercise load reasonably.

2. Changes in hand and foot techniques - Hand techniques can be divided into three forms: full palm support, fist support and finger support. From the direction, they can be divided into three types of support postures: fingertips forward, inward and outward. Full palm support means supporting the ground with the entire palm; fist support means supporting the ground with a clenched fist; finger support means supporting the ground with the first joint of the fingers. Finger support requires great strength and is the most difficult. There are two types of foot techniques: feet together or apart. You can also use the instep or arch of the foot to support the ground.

There are many benefits to exercising hand muscles. For people who often use computers, since they have to maintain one posture for a long time, their hand and shoulder muscles will be in a tense state for a long time. Hand muscle exercises can relax the tense muscles, which is a good way to prevent mouse hand and tenosynovitis.
