Open and Close
Hold your hands up in the air, fingers together, like you're taking an oath with both hands. Gently spread your fingers apart, as if you were about to put your handprint into the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Hold for a few seconds, and then bring your fingers back together. Repeat 10 times.

Fist Flex
Hold your hands upright, fingers apart. Gently draw your fingers into a fist, placing your thumbs on the outside. Don't squeeze or clench your fist. Hold for a few seconds, and then open your hands back to the starting position with fingers spread apart. Hold your hands open for a few seconds, and then repeat the fist movement. Do 5 to 10 of these close-and-open sets.

Tip Touch
Hold your hands upright, with your fingers spread comfortably apart. Touch your thumbs to the tips of your littlest fingers on the same hand, and then open your hands back up to the starting position. Repeat with the next closest fingers, and continue until your thumbs have touched all four fingertips on the same hand.

Wrist Rotate and Flex
Rest your forearms on the arms of a chair so your wrists are supported by the ends of the chairs arms and your fingers hang free. Bend your wrists back, lifting your hands up toward you, and then lower your hands back down. Repeat the lifting and lowering 5 to 10 times. Next, try some rotations. Keep your elbows in place, and rotate your forearms so your palms are facing upward. Hold for a moment, and then rotate again, turning your palms back over. Repeat 5 to 10 times.
