  • 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.

    Thanks for this, I've been using this every now and again while speedrunning and I really appreciate a video that has exercises and not just stretches!

      Yes. I play ukulele which requires a lot of dexterity for the fretboard hand as well as for finger style playing. I'll work this into my warmup exercise routine.

    Just after finding this and doing the exercises the first time, hands and fingers feel amazing. Thank you!
