  • I'm Manuel, a German Physician (M.D.) - Here are my Hand Exercises for Gamers. It's a follow-along routine that just takes five minutes of your time. You can use them even if you're not a gamer, they are also hand exercises for guitar, or hand exercises for women and men that have weak hands after e.g. surgery.

    if you ever felt like putting together a warm-up/stretching routine for jugglers, there's a huge community that would really appreciate it haha. dunno how much you know about juggling but the repetitive motions can cause a lot of problems, especially considering how many folks don't even realize the stress they're putting their bodies through.

    This seems like a good warm up for musicians as well!
