Kung Fu Wrist Exercise

Video Transcript

"Hello, I'm Sifu Mallon from the Clearwater Kung Fu Center, and this is my assistant Melissa, and this is Kung Fu for Health. We're going to begin with warm-ups for our wrists and forearms. The wrist exercise, our wrist warm-up is going to be; take your left hand and extend it out in front of you, take your right hand and grasp your fingers underneath, the line in your knuckle. You're going to pull back gently this way, to where your elbow is straighten and you feel flexion in your wrist. This will help give you full range of motion in your wrists and also loosen your forearms. Okay, relax and repeat on the opposite side. You want to make sure that you're grabbing underneath the finger joint itself, so I'm not grabbing the palm, but more toward the fingers so you feel that full stretch. Okay, hold just for a few seconds. The same thing on the opposite side, but pointing your fingers up, grab on top and pull back. Same thing on the opposite side. If your fingers crack that's fine as long as you don't feel any pain. And down. This is how we do Wrist Warm-ups for Kung Fu for Health."
