Hi. Alright, so we're gonna go over some Aikido stretches and these stretches. They're great to prevent carpal tunnel or arthritis. They definitely are great stretches to do every single day I do them at least in the morning and in the evening. Because if I feel tight or anything like that, or I've been on my phone or my computer, something along those lines that this really helps out. So, pay attention.

All right, the first one that we're going to do is right hand out, left hand poles back, like so. You don't have to do the pull back as far as mine go. Just go until you feel the good stretch. Something to note, you should never do these stretches longer than 30 seconds at a time. And it's good to do a break in between. So shake it up, left hand, pull back.

Excellent. I tend to do three sets of these. So I'll go through this one. And then I'll show you the next one, the next one after that, and then I go back to the first. I've sort of varies that up a little bit. All right, and next one that we're going to do, Hello, we're doing the pinkie to the chest.

I'm going to take my hand and swing it underneath, grabbing what I call the meat of the hand. So I'm going to be saying this a lot throughout the course. But when I say the meat of the hand, I mean, right along here, and notice my is behind the hand. You don't want to hear when I'm grabbing hold of people and trying to do a move or here. I'm here. Okay.

So, we're here, I twist out, and I'm doing an awkward Hello. Hello. Shake it up. Next one, left hand, Pinky to chest, right hand swings underneath and grabs me to the hand. You twist out. You can do an awkward Hello.

You can do this as a friend and do an awkward hello to them. Or you can do with a pet and say hello to your dog or cat. Now Alright, so shake it out. And the last one that we're going to do is right now hand thumb down, left hand thumb up, and it looks like a fish. Okay, I'm going to take the left hand and twist down towards the ground, grabbing hold of my hand, pulling straight in and twisting up. And you should feel a stretch all along here.

So how this looks from the side is right hand thumb down, left hand, thumb up, twist the left hand down, grab, hold, pull in, twist, up. Good stretch. All right, there we go. On the other side, left hand, thumb down, right hand thumb up, twist your right hand down towards the ground grip, hold, pull in and twist up. Notice I don't have my hands out here. I don't have them up high.

I don't have them down low like this. I just have it right here. And when I'm twisting, I don't have. See it's just a 90 degree angle there. All right. So basically, there's that we twist up and as we're twisting up, we want to breathe out.

So each time that you do a set, you can do that. Right. Sweet. You got it.
