Resistance Band Fingers Extension
A small band looped around the fingertips; the fingers open and spread against it, the opposite of a grip squeeze.
How to do it
Setup
Standing, a small loop band around the tips of the fingers and thumb of one hand, hand relaxed.
Steps
- Spread the fingers and thumb apart against the band.
- Hold the widest spread for a beat.
- Let the fingers close back slowly.
Common mistakes
A band so strong the fingers barely move: use a lighter loop and the full range. Bending the wrist back to help: keep it straight. Letting the band snap the fingers shut: resist on the way back.
Breathing
Easy and steady.
