Here is Friday Fast Fitness - nice stretch for hands, wrist, and forearms:

1. Face a wall and raise both hands to about head height.
2. Turn palms up, thumbs to the outside, fingers downward,
3. Press toward wall. Bend elbows to various amounts for a full-range wonderful, gentle stretch.
4. Keep body straight, not sagging inward or tilting out in back.

Breathe. Smile. Feel good.
