Stretch Before Knitting: Yoga with Adriene

I’ve posted some hand stretching exercises that I try to do before, after, and every hour or so when knitting to make sure that you are knitting healthy. This is very important for joint health. 

Aside from your hand health, stretching in general is just a straight up good idea. Enter yoga. You can choose the level of “crunch” that you’re comfortable with when experiencing yoga, but I prefer just straight forward approach.

I have really bad posture due to lack of core muscles, desk job, love of yarn, etc, and have fallen in LOVE with this particular yoga series. Enter Yoga with Adriene. She’s refreshingly no fluff, and just gets straight to the good stuff. She also has a few different series that cater to different levels of yoga experience.

I encourage all knitters and crocheters to do more body stretching in addition to hand stretching whenever getting ready to sit down and really be productive with your fiber.

Ask and ye shall receive! Vid 2 (text remains the same) . HAND & WRIST CARE . 3 videos which are actually just 1 cut up because time and Instagram won't let video stay the right shape so it's in three posts. . Basically 7 different things to do strung together. . Some deets on the moves: . 1: not so much a stretch but moreso mobility- just open and close the hand 7-10 times. Open hand as wide as possible then make a LOOSE fist with arm at 90 degrees, elbows almost by the ribs. . 2: same as above 👆just palm down . 3: now STRETCH the whole hand palm down . 4: keeping the stretch turn the palm up . 5: still activated- keeping the wrist strait start to stretch the arm towards strait so that the firearm gets a stretch now too ("towards" - keep a bend at the elbow especially if you're doing these seated) . 6: shake it and I don't mean your arse- and watch out for your furniture... shake it shake it shake those muscles off the bone . 7: ok so this one is more complicated. I tried my best to make the video as clear as possible. Please don't yank on your fingers and crank your wrist back. The idea here is that each finger gets a stretch and the way to articulate that is to keep the palm waist and ALL FINGERS extended regardless of which finger is being stretched. When you get to the thumb do it EXACTLY as I show in the video- back of hand to back of hand and gently wrap ALL of your fingers around your friendly thumb. YES- the wrist bends in these to assist in localizing the stretch properly however it most likely will not bend like mine- which it doesn't need to do anyways. 👐🙌🙏🤝✊️👊👌🤘🖖🤙✌️ Things to keep in mind: 🚫slouching, don't do it. 🚫not all the humans can straiten their arms with them out in front - Don't force it, especially if you've been typing for hours- it's probably not so much the arms & some (like myself) easily over-straiten- which is much more challenging to explain- basically when your palm is up - for now - attempt to keep a little bend in the elbow when you extend the arm to stretch the hand. . #hands #wrists #handstretches #selfcare #sustainability (at FAERN.me)
