Yes, this is excellent. I'm a senior new to the ukulele, or any other musical instrument. This warm-up puts me in a good frame of mind to practice.
Cynthia ,Aloha! I just want say Mahalo for your creative teaching, and the true spirit of aloha you exude in every frame! Thanks to you, I’m bonding joyfully with my Uke more each day. I wish you many blessings and continued success. Derrick of SF.
Thanks, as a senior citizen I really appreciate this as the joints have some arthritis, so this is very important.
Hey. Thanks CL. We use this in some physical therapy exercises. Especially for the carpal tunnel patients.
This was great. I’m a senior and we are forming a ukulele club where I live. I’m going to show my friends these warm-up exercises. 🙏 💕
You have a wonderful teaching style! YES uke is much more protable than a guitar. Fun to teach to teens!!
I'm an artist, and I'm just starting to learn Ukulele. I've been bad about doing hand stretches, and these exercises really made me notice how stiff and cramp-y my hands have been getting 😅I can tell already though that these will help a lot, though!
It allowed me to feel the areas in my hands with the most problems, and while my hands are a little ache-y from the stretches they feel soooo much less stiff! I'm definitely going to try and do these every day, I think it'll help keep my hand in better shape not just for uke but also for drawing! :)
Thank you Cynthia. This exercice will help my lazy fingers (87years old+).
Thank you for this! I already do some PT exercises due to an old injury, and I also have mild arthritis developing in both hands. I believe playing uke is the best medicine to keep both of my hands mobile and strong! A couple of these were new to me, especially the isolation of the fingers. Feels really beneficial. Thank you!!
OMG this made so much sense 😲 I mean a sportsman would warm up before a match and when I song in a choir as a child and teenage we would always starting with some up warming, so of course also when you play and instrument.
Thank you so so so much ⚘️🙏🏽 very helpful and relaxing for my fingers as a beginner ukers ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Cynthia,
Thank you so much for this video -- I really appreciate learning exercises that can help me take care of my hands and wrists. I also have played piano since I was young and play percussion professionally, so it is a lot of exercise for my hands and joints and wrists -- knowing how to take care of myself this way is invaluable to me.
I found this very helpful- I'm a beginner and this warm up felt
great to relax tightness and massage joints as I learn new muscle memory for holding, cording and strumming my uke. Thank you!
learned these in massage school and as a nurse. It really helps. If done on a regular bases u can feel the difference . Thank u
I just spent all day at my ukulele so I really needed this lol
I’m about two weeks into learning the uke and on lesson 4 of your intro videos; thank you so much for your kindness. I love learning with you and this little self-loving stretch practice was wonderful and your gentle guidance is just lovely. 🥰
Nice! All great exercises. I add one, a little traction applied to each wrist while gently twisting.
Well worth it and useful with breathing as well. Thank you Cynthia.
Many thanks Cynthia 🙏these warming exercises are so beneficial.
Thank you Cynthia! I’m a beginner ukulele player and your tutorials are so helpful!
You are awesome and I enjoy learning from you. These exercises helped a lot and made a difference especially with my wrists. THANK YOU
Great. Broke my left wrist last year. Recovering flexibility is a challenge but this helps. Thank you.
Oh wished I had found this before I was heading out the door for a gig. Bass player here by trade. Liked and saved it to my favorites for complete watching later. Really need something like this!
thanks, pieter! appreciate you saving it, hope it helps!
Found this very helpful!!!! Thank you Cynthia!!! 👍💕🐬🐬🙏
I'm just watching this video before bed. I'd like to use these stretches starting tomorrow. Funny thing, when you mentioned one of the stretches made you yawn it did me too except I wasn't doing the stretch just watching you demonstrate. I thought it was funny we both yawned. Thank you for this video this will help.
Very comfortable for me. Thanks for sharing this so kindly.
Fantastic tips, Cynthia, thank you! I play ukulele, guitar, Native American flute, bodhran and various hand drums, so at 59, I need all the help I can get to keep my hands, fingers and wrists flexible and limber. These exercises definitely fit the bill!
Thanks for all you do for the musical community. Your calm and knowledgeable instruction along with your kind and warm personality are always refreshing and inspiring. All the best to you!
This feels goodddddddd
Thnx, Cynthia. Very useful and I have bookmarked it!
Thank you! I've been playing a bit of Ukulele for a couple of years now and some songs I just can't play because I can not get enough stretch for some chords that are needed! Didn't even think that it would be a good idea to stretch and warm up first but it makes so much sense! Going to give it a go 😊
Thanks Cynthia this works great for me as a harpist
what a great idea!
These are great! Thanks!
I love this! It is more extensive then what I usually do.
Thanks!
Very helpful, thank you!
These guided touches, stretches and massages are wonderful!
Thanks so much for this video! I’ve been playing ukulele for about 4 yrs now and never do warm up for my hands and arms etc. Lately i have been teaching my 86 yr old Mom how to play ukulele and she has bad arthritis. I was trying to think of simple stretches for her to use, but I think this will help both of us a lot. I will show her this tomorrow and hopefully it will help her with easier chording in this early stage!
That felt so good! I needed that......Thank you
Thank you you're great
These are so helpful, thank you!
Great tips thanks Cynthia :)
Merci c’est super bravo
Hi Cynthia, this was great. I actually do some of this every day but learned some new ones here, thanks! :)
I am so glad I found you! Thank you for your kind demeanor and gentle instruction. ❤️
Thank you Cynthia. Going to do this before practice everyday.
I never thought of doing finger exercises like this. Feels really good. Thank you
Thank You so much, it's helpss me so much☺️❤️❤️
This was very helpful as I’ve been struggling w thumb arthritis as I practice for my June workshop on Maui. Mahalo nui loa Cynthia!!
Excellent!!! Especially for a senior player when it's cold in Minnesota. THANK-YOU!
This is exactly what I needed! I was doing your vocal warm ups and thinking I need something for my arthritic hands. THANK YOU!!
Thanks Cynthia,excellent ,Canada
Loved this..i think very helpful.
Wow! Wasn't aware my fingers were that tight till I tried them out. My fingers and palm feel warm and fuzzy. Thanks Cynthia 😘
Loved the warm up 🙏 im just starting to learn and it feels amazing to feel
My fingers. Thank you so much for sharing :)
Great session! I also saved this video as I find the stretches beneficial.
It felt good Cynthia 👍🏼
I felt great after this exsercise thank you!
Oh, yes! Please and thank you! Safety first!
Thank you SO much for this reminder to show love for our fingers and joints! I’m sharing this with all my music playing friends and family! ❤
Thanks! excellent warm-up exercises
Thank you so much Cynthia. I too will save this tutorial. As with all your tutorials it is super clear and helpful. You have made my ukulele journey a joy.
These exercises are amazing and they are just what I need. I cannot thank you enough, Cynthia! I plan to do these wrist and finger exercises on a daily basis. Thank you for all you do for everyone. Keep up the excellent work!
This was an excellent video. Thanks for the exercises and look forward to seeing more of this type.
This was tremendous. I've been having some arthritis pain in my hands, and these exercises really helped and I'm planning doing these more often. Can't thank you enough.
De Costa Rica envio saludos y excelentes consejos para cuando tenemos las manos duras !! Muchas gracias!!!!
Best hand warm up ever, especially combined with breathing, it is really relaxing. Thank you for sharing your tips ;)
This is great and I'd love more. Had a surprise bout of tendonitis after working a song that asked for me to hyperextend my middle finger on my chording hand. Forgot to take it slowly and now I'm slowing it down a bit and adding more stretch and strengthening to my regimen.
Good morning! Today I woke up and did this. And my hands feel softer. Thank you!
Loved these finger stretches! my arm hand finger units feel really light & open!! will fold it into all my other weekly /daily fitness stretches :)
This is fantastic! I have been doing lots of picking lately and could tell I needed a warmup - I will be revisiting this one regularly, I think the finger isolation is especially useful for me. Thank you!
Thank you so much I’ve been using this for my arthritis in my fingers ,your a star
The thumb exercise I felt immediately. So good. I have osteoarthritis and this is really helpful. The wrist rotation/breathing is wonderful.
Woooo that felt great. My fingers and palm feel very stretched now. I'll now always do them before playing my uke.
THANKS CYNTHIA😘
This is great! I’ve been a follower of yours since January when I picked up ukulele. You’ve been an amazing teacher and I watch you so often my kids even call you my ukulele teacher! Thank you for all your tutorial and tips. I love learning technique and theory so appreciate whenever you add some of that to your videos. Keep up the amazing work!
Hi, Cynthia, thank you for these helpful warm-up stretches, I learned a few new ones! I appreciate your music and ukulele lessons very much. Thank you for all that you do.
Warmest Aloha, Cher ❤
Thank you so much for these exercises -- my joints, wrists all feel so much better. Not sure I can call out one or two as most helpful -- I think it's the suite. Very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for this. These are some exercises I’ve never done before, and especially for me so important. Badly injured right wrist some 6 or more years ago and thought healed w/ PT, also KT taping. Just discovered things you’re showing I can do w/ L hand/wrist are not working as well on R hand/wrist. Will do every day now before picking up my uke. You have have added a few decades more to my playing, seriously. 😍
Hi Cynthia thank you for these exercises...I surely needed them and they help a lot. Many thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy new year!
This is great! I’ve played piano, clarinet and guitar since I was 12 and never did anything like this, only breathing exercises. 🙏🏻
I love this! You've been helping me learn Ukulele and I'm finding the strength building to be verrrrrrrry necessary.
Also I just want to thank you for your videos. I'm learning to play secretly so I can surprise my fiance at our wedding, and you have made the process so much easier than I had expected. I'm finding so much joy in it!
Thank you Cynthia. I found those quite useful. Especially the last few years the tendons have been tightening up in my hands. I feel a noticeable improvement in circulation after I do these exercises. I would love it if you’d add some exercises for neck and shoulders. After long sessions (4-5 hours). I really need to stretch and loosen my neck/shoulder muscles. Love to see your recommendations. Even using a shoulder strap on my ukes bring their own tensions. Thanks again.
How wonderful, Cynthia! As an older ukulele student, I'm so grateful. Age seems to make it more difficult for me to do certain chords which is frustrating. But I believe that these exercises will help keep my hands limber and perhaps help with my playing. Thank you, again.
I used lotion on the massage part. Great feeling! These stretches are very helpful. I've been experiencing pain in my thumb, going up to my wrist. I believe it is from fingerpicking and using a mouse so much.
I enjoyed this video I needed that yes I would love to see more exercises thank you my friend all my best Ramon from Athens Georgia
Thanks for the great video, Cynthia. My fingers, wrists and forearms feel so much more flexible and supple now. I thought the backward finger stretches with palms pushed together were most rewarding and that wrist circles were the quickest and surest way to warm up. 💗🎸 - rick
This feels great, thanks so much
thanks for checking it out!
Thank you! My fingers really need that stretching. I'm also finding my shoulders are getting tight from holding the uke! Have to release them as well.
I just had a little draft with my Ukulele because my fingers always hurt when playing longer - hope this will get me back on track. I'd love to see more excercises for finger strength but I will surely come to see this one again, too.
After 3 years of playing ukelele my left wrist has just started hurting. I found these exercises and think it will help. Also have arthritis.
Thanks for the hand and finger stretches, I've been feeling a little pain tension in my left thumb area and some arthritis in some finger joints. Texting probably doesn't help either. I think my chording grip with my thumb is not great and I have trouble reaching due to the way my fingers naturally curve. Hope this will help. Thanks
This felt great! My favourite parts were the self-massage and finger isolation exercises. Perhaps I have a bit of a phobia with perfectly touching my knuckles and fingertips together for some reason, which makes me feel uncomfortable (mentally, not physically). Weird!
Question: I just started playing a few weeks ago , so maybe that’s why it makes me feel too exhausted to play after these stretches? Did I overdo it? Or do I just not have the strength yet? It’s nice to be all warmed up, but don’t want to be too tired to practice.
This felt AMAZING, though! I don’t think my hands have ever had this good of a stretch.
Loved these warmup stretches, but I found that my shoulders were tight. Do you do any warmups for shoulders too? I know, some to do but it's so hard to spend so much time on warming up before playing/practicing, I just want to jump right in and play!🤣
other folks have asked too, i’ll work on a shoulder warmup
👍
👍 perfect I ( as udual )
thanks, paul!
Haha, You must be double jointed at the wrist the way your hands fall perfectly at right-angles....I can't make the backs ( tops ) of my hands touch eachother. Enjoyed the exercise routine though.
Good stretches. I’m a retired Hand therapist/ Music Ergonomist. I recently made a video with stretches and strengthening for musicians for the upcoming Somerset Harp Conference. I hope to post it on my website after the conference. It focuses more on posture. If anyone is interested let me know.
Finger isolation is definitely a weak point for me.
Thanks!
